Diploma in Recreation Management and Intervention Techniques

This DEC Technique programme trains professionals to plan, organize, coordinate, lead, and evaluate recreation activities, events, and programmes, and to manage projects, work teams, and volunteers while supporting the social participation and well-being of diverse client groups. More than half of the specific training, 1,075 of 1,935 hours, takes place directly with professional partners, equivalent to close to six months of work experience. The regular pathway is completed in three years; an extended pathway runs four years. Admission requires meeting the general college admission conditions, with no specific secondary-school prerequisite and no enrolment cap. Graduates can pursue roles such as recreation intervention technician, recreation coordinator, activity coordinator, or youth worker, or continue into university studies in administration, communication, or sport intervention. The credential is a Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) issued by Collège Laflèche.
