Program details
Overview
Techniques de physiothérapie is a three-year, full-time technical DEC that the page states is offered exclusively at the Centre d'études de Vaudreuil-Dorion, with a single fall intake. It trains physiotherapy technologists to review patient files, collect evaluative data, establish and apply treatment plans, adjust treatment based on a patient's evolving condition, maintain records, and collaborate with other health professionals. Course content covers human anatomy, biology and physiology, a biopsychosocial approach to care, functional autonomy, biomechanics, communication and teamwork, geriatrics, neurology, orthopedics, and psychology, reflecting the varying levels of responsibility technologists take on within the healthcare system. The page highlights practical training that includes the maximum number of clinical teaching hours permitted, delivered in newly built laboratories and an on-site clinic-school designed for the program, developed in coordination with the needs of local health-care partners. Admission requires a secondary diploma plus grade-11 physics, with an option to complete a missing prerequisite through the Tremplin DEC pathway. It suits students drawn to hands-on rehabilitation work who are prepared to study at the Vaudreuil-Dorion site rather than the main campus.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Le programme Physiothérapie exige un diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) plus le préalable spécifique de Physique de 5e secondaire, selon la page du programme, qui précise aussi la possibilité de s'inscrire au Cheminement Tremplin DEC pour compléter un cours de mise à niveau si ce préalable manque. Pour le reste, l'admission suit la base académique générale du Cégep de Valleyfield (DES, ou DEP avec réussite du français, de l'anglais de secondaire 5 et des mathématiques de secondaire 4, ou équivalence reconnue par le Cégep). Aucun score de test de langue anglaise ou française n'est publié pour ce programme francophone, et la page ne mentionne ni entrevue, ni portfolio, ni moyenne minimale. L'admission se fait à la session d'automne uniquement, via SRAM.
Application Details
Start Date:Automne
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.
