Program details
Overview
This Tremplin DEC pathway at Collège de Bois-de-Boulogne is a preparatory, non-diploma-granting bridge program aimed at students planning to apply to the college's Soins infirmiers (Nursing) DEC. It targets applicants who want to strengthen a weaker academic record, finish outstanding prerequisite courses before a Nursing application, or sample program-related coursework before committing. According to the program page, participants take a mandatory support activity focused on succeeding in nursing studies, alongside two courses drawn from the Nursing program itself covering human biology and communication and psychology foundations. Students who still need to meet science prerequisites, particularly in chemistry, can take upgrading chemistry courses tailored to nursing admission requirements. General-education courses in French, physical education, English, and philosophy are scheduled individually according to each student's remaining needs, especially in French. The page describes the pathway as distinctive within the Montreal region and frames it both as academic remediation and as a way to confirm vocational interest in nursing before full enrolment. It suits recent graduates or returning students who fall short of Nursing DEC entry requirements but want a structured, college-supported route to reapply rather than pursuing upgrading independently.

Application Details

International applicants residing outside Canada apply through the college's own international-student process and must submit by 14 March for fall entry or by 31 May of the preceding year for winter entry; the college does not describe either deadline as rolling, though SRAM processes domestic applications in successive rounds while seats remain. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
