Correctional Intervention Techniques is an Attestation d'études collégiales (AEC) offered by Collège d'Alma that trains correctional officers for detention facilities operated under Quebec's Ministry of Public Safety and Canada's Correctional Service. Over 1,605 hours across three sessions spanning 18 months, the programme develops the capacity to intervene with incarcerated persons and to work alongside other professionals toward their social reintegration, combining supervision duties with assessment and support functions in the rehabilitation process. Training includes simulation laboratories and a 405-hour internship placed in the final session, giving students supervised experience in a correctional setting before graduation. The cohort begins each fall. Graduates are prepared to work as correctional officers or intervention counsellors within provincial and federal detention facilities, applying both security procedures and rehabilitation-focused case support, and are positioned to pursue further roles in Quebec's correctional and community-reintegration services.
