Program details
Overview
Techniques juridiques (310.C0) is a technical DEC at Collège Ahuntsic for students interested in the world of law. The page states that the program builds knowledge of legal subject matter and the practical skills used by legal technicians, including researching laws, regulations, jurisprudence, and legal doctrine, preparing evidence, analyzing judgments, and drafting procedural documents and legal instruments. It notes that more than a third of graduates go on each year to pursue university studies in law or other fields, while others move directly into the workforce in the legal sector that interests them. Admission requires a secondary-level mathematics prerequisite. Program coordination and a dedicated internship coordinator are described as supporting students placed with legal employers as part of their studies. The program combines classroom instruction in legal procedure and terminology with applied research and drafting exercises. It suits students with strong reading comprehension, attention to detail, and analytical skills who are drawn to structured, rules-based work and want a technical credential that leads either into paralegal-type roles or serves as a stepping stone toward university legal studies.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The program's own page sets one prerequisite: CST mathematics from Secondary 4 (or Mathematiques 416). Beyond this, admission follows College Ahuntsic's general regulation R-11: a Diplome d'etudes secondaires covering it, or an equivalent Diplome d'etudes professionnelles with the required upgrading courses, plus 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 offers 220 places and is usually filled in SRAM's first round, with admission for the Fall session only; the program page also notes written mastery of French and English as an asset for job placement, though not stated as an admission requirement.

Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM): Collège Ahuntsic's own site confirms it follows SRAM's standard three-round system for Fall entry and two-round system for Winter entry, which for the current cycle puts the Fall 2027 equal-consideration date at 1 March 2027 and the Winter 2027 equal-consideration date at 1 November 2026 (applications opening 15 September 2026), with later rounds in late April, late May and late November while seats remain.

Admission is rolling round to round until each round's seats are filled. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
