At Collège de Valleyfield in Québec, Canada, Diploma in Techniques d'inhalothérapie is offered as a diploma in Health Sciences programme. The programme runs for 3 years. Teaching is in French. Tuition for international students is CAD 23,480 per year (CAD 3,740 per year for local students).
Techniques d'inhalothérapie is a three-year, full-time technical DEC offered at the main Salaberry-de-Valleyfield campus. The page describes it as training respiratory-care specialists who intervene in cardiorespiratory care, anesthesia support, and diagnostic testing, working with patients across all age groups from newborns to adults. Students learn to carry out diagnostic tests contributing to the identification of pulmonary, cardiac, and sleep-related conditions, and to provide clinical support to anesthesiologists during surgery. Typical work settings named on the page include hospital emergency departments, intensive care, pneumology, cardiorespiratory physiology laboratories, and operating rooms. The program is offered in only twelve Quebec cégeps, and the college states it is the only public institution offering it in the Montérégie region. Training combines classroom instruction with clinical placements (stages) in various sectors across the Montérégie and Montréal regions, supported by an immersive simulation centre equipped with high-fidelity, programmable manikins adjacent to classrooms, along with modern laboratories and a study room reserved for students in the program. It suits students interested in cardiorespiratory health care who want a clinically intensive, hands-on health-sciences technical program.

Application Details
Start Date:Automne et hiver
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.
