At Cégep Limoilou in Québec, Canada, Diploma in Tourism (Bilingual DEC) is offered as a diploma in Tourism & Leisure programme. The programme runs for 3 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 15,150 per semester.
Tourism (Bilingual DEC) is a technical Diploma of College Studies (DEC technique, 414.A0) offered at Cegep Limoilou, with a Tourism Product Development profile, and is described by the college as bilingual and unique within Quebec. Students learn to organize and manage events, design tourism products and services, and market a local tourism offer to regional, national, and international markets, applying these skills through hands-on fieldwork in project development, marketing and coordination, and customer service. The program includes a work-study (alternance travail-études) component with two paid internships, one of which may take place elsewhere in Canada or abroad. Admission requires an English placement test to confirm students meet the program's minimum required level. A DEC-BAC bridging pathway is available with the Institut de tourisme et d'hôtellerie du Québec (ITHQ), among other university partnership options. The program suits students who enjoy organizing events or activities, want to promote Quebec's tourism offer, are comfortable communicating in more than one language, enjoy contact with people from different backgrounds, and prefer active, field-based learning over classroom-only instruction.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Tourism (bilingual DEC, 414.A0) follows Cégep Limoilou's general DEC admission conditions (Quebec DES, or DEP plus Secondary 4 Mathematics, Secondary 5 English and Secondary 5 French, or equivalent training or experience) with a Secondary 4 CST Mathematics prerequisite. As a bilingual programme it also sets an English-language requirement: applicants must sit a mandatory 90-minute English test confirming they have reached the minimum required level (level 101, intermediate); the test is administered online via Omnivox (not accessible through Safari), around the third week of March for the first admission round and mid-May for the second round. No French-language test, minimum grade average, portfolio or interview is stated on the programme page.
