Program details
Overview
Techniques de l'informatique is a three-year technical DEC at the main Salaberry-de-Valleyfield campus, with fall and winter intakes. According to the page, students gain mastery of software and information systems from analysis through to coding, with content addressing web and multimedia programming, mobile application development, and information security, aimed at students curious about how social platforms, online games, e-commerce sites, and corporate information security work. The program follows a "DEC portable" approach, integrating a required personal laptop into coursework and internships to build fluency with industry software. It offers an optional alternance travail-études (paid work-study) formula, DEC-BAC or bridging arrangements with university programs, and the possibility of completing an internship in France. The page also highlights the college's Centre d'assistance en ressources informatiques (CARI), through which students in the program provide hardware repair and technical support to the broader college community, giving practical, applied experience alongside coursework. It suits students interested in software development, web and mobile programming, or information-systems work who want a technology-focused technical DEC with built-in industry-facing practice.

Application Details
Start Date:Automne et hiver (à l'hiver 2026, ouvert uniquement aux personnes ayant déjà réussi une session du programme au Cégep)
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM: the college's most recently published Fall cycle (Fall 2026) opened 13 January 2026 with a first-round deadline of 1 March 2026, 23:59, and the same 1 March pattern is expected to recur for Fall 2027; Winter 2027 entry opens mid-September 2026 with a first-round deadline of 1 November 2026, 23:59. Valleyfield publishes no fixed international application dates: for the 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 cycles it accepts only international applicants already living in Quebec who completed part of their secondary or vocational studies there, so the general SRAM international calendar does not apply. Admission for domestic applicants is not rolling beyond SRAM's rounds. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
