College Ahuntsic offers Diploma in Techniques d’intervention en criminologie, a diploma in Criminal Law & Justice programme in Montréal, Canada. The programme runs for 6 semesters. Teaching is in French. Tuition for international students is CAD 15,150 per year (CAD 3,740 per year for local students).
Techniques d'intervention en criminologie (310.B1) is a technical DEC at Collège Ahuntsic that trains students to work with people who show delinquent behaviour or risk factors linked to delinquency, victims of neglect or mistreatment, and victims of criminal acts along with their families or witnesses. The page states that graduates learn to identify the needs of these clients and the interventions required, taking a prevention- and helping-relationship-based approach aimed at building autonomy and supporting social reintegration, always within the applicable legislative frameworks, protocols, and reference standards. It describes a practice-oriented learning approach in which classroom theory is reinforced through role-play and simulation rooms that recreate professional environments, such as a youth-centre unit. Admission requires only a secondary school diploma, with no specific course prerequisite. Typical listed tasks include observing, analyzing, and evaluating client behaviour, supporting social-reintegration planning, and developing and delivering prevention, screening, intervention, and resocialization programs. It suits respectful, honest, mature, and empathetic people with good judgment, strong listening and communication skills, and comfort working in group facilitation and with variable schedules.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The program page sets no course prerequisite beyond a Diplome d'etudes secondaires (DES). Under the College's general regulation R-11, applicants may also qualify with an equivalent Diplome d'etudes professionnelles plus the required upgrading courses, or with training and experience the College judges sufficient, provided they hold eligible citizenship or immigration status. Applicants whose Secondary 5 language of instruction was not French must pass the College's own French-language test. The program page separately notes that having a criminal record may restrict access to certain internships and jobs in the field, though this is a placement condition rather than an admission bar. Admission is processed through SRAM.
