Program details
Overview
Technologies sonores is a three-year DEC in the Arts field offered by Cégep de Drummondville, described on the program page as the only program of its kind offered by a Cégep in the centre of Quebec. It trains students to take on the artistic and technical sound responsibilities involved in live events, performances, and audiovisual productions, covering areas such as event sound reinforcement, studio recording, sound post-production for picture, and sound integration for multimedia and video games. Training takes place in dedicated recording, mixing, and post-production studios and labs equipped with current digital audio software, and the page states that students must supply their own MacBook laptop and related accessories for coursework. The program is linked to the Cégep's in-house production company, Productions artscène, which gives students opportunities to work on real artistic and stage productions alongside programs such as Music and Dance. Admission follows the general conditions for college admission, and the page describes the program as having limited enrolment, with selection based on an interview and a motivation questionnaire alongside the academic record. Graduates are prepared for roles such as sound designer, studio or location sound recordist, sound-system installer, live or music mixer, video-game sound integrator, and sound editor, suiting students with a strong interest in the technical and creative side of audio production.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The programme page states that admission is contingente (capped), with selection based on an interview, a motivation questionnaire and the applicant's academic file, on top of Cegep de Drummondville's general collegial admission conditions. Per the institution's own admission requirements, those general conditions mean holding a Diplome d'etudes secondaires (DES); a DEP plus completed Secondary 5 language of instruction, Secondary 5 second language and Secondary 4 mathematics; or being no more than 6 units short of the DES via Tremplin DEC. No academic course prerequisites, grade thresholds or language-test scores are published for this programme. A MacBook laptop and accessories are a mandatory equipment requirement, and selection-round dates (motivation questionnaire and interview) are published annually by the college.
