Program details
Overview
Techniques policières (310.A0) is a technical DEC at Collège Ahuntsic that trains students to act as first responders at the scenes of events, incidents, or accidents. The page states that students learn to quickly identify problems, ensure their own safety and that of others, and select intervention approaches suited to the circumstances, while the program also develops maturity, autonomy, creativity, tolerance, stress management, respect for the public, intellectual rigour, and social engagement. Admission requires a secondary-level mathematics prerequisite, passing a pre-admission physical aptitude test, and completing a full medical exam at a designated clinic. The page describes an equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) access measure intended to increase representation within police services, aimed specifically at candidates from visible minorities, ethnocultural minorities, and Indigenous communities in Canada, applied for through the standard SRAM admission process. The program suits candidates who are physically fit, decisive under pressure, comfortable exercising judgment in unpredictable situations, and committed to public service, and who are prepared to meet the physical and medical admission requirements specific to policing-related studies.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The program's own page sets one academic prerequisite, CST mathematics from Secondary 4 (or Mathematiques 514), plus two program-specific conditions on top of College Ahuntsic's general DES-based regulation R-11: passing a pre-admission physical-aptitude test, and passing a full medical examination at a College-designated clinic. As under the general conditions, applicants whose Secondary 5 language of instruction was not French must pass the College's own French-language test. The program offers 220 places, usually filled in SRAM's first round; the College also runs a separate EDI admission stream with its own supplementary-document deadline for candidates from underrepresented groups.
Application Details
Start Date:September
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. International applicants apply through the same SRAM portal; SRAM's system-wide window for Fall 2027 international entry runs from 15 March 2026 to a firm closing date of 14 March 2027, with no winter international date published for the college. 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.
