Program details
Overview
Techniques de l'informatique is a technical DEC program in software development at Collège Lionel-Groulx. The program page describes software design as a wide-ranging industry spanning web, mobile, multimedia, video games, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, home automation and connected devices, positioning the program for students who want to design and build software or websites. Program objectives include mastering modern programming languages such as C#, Java, JavaScript, PHP and SQL; building dynamic applications for desktop computers and mobile devices; developing proficiency with information technologies; and learning the computing methods commonly used in industry. A personal laptop meeting program specifications is required, with details provided after admission. Admission requires the general college conditions plus a Secondary 4 Mathematics prerequisite (TS, SN, or Secondary 5 CST); there is no admission quota. The DEC gives access to university programs including video-game design, automated-production engineering, information-technology engineering, and computer engineering, among others named on the page. It suits students curious about technology who enjoy problem-solving and analytical thinking and want a hands-on technical pathway into programming and software development, whether or not they have prior coding experience.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Beyond the college's general admission conditions (a DES, or DEP-plus-courses equivalency, or judged-sufficient training/experience, plus adequate French with the Bright test at 3.7 minimum for anyone without a francophone-sector DES), this program (420.B0) requires Mathematics TS Secondary 4, SN Secondary 4, or CST Secondary 5. There is no enrolment cap, and admission is fall-only. A laptop meeting the program's specifications is mandatory from the start of studies. Applications go through SRAM (admission.sram.qc.ca), with a round-one deadline of 1 March for the fall intake; program-specific Ministry-set subject prerequisites such as this mathematics requirement sit on top of the college's general admission conditions.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM) at admission.sram.qc.ca: the college's own admission page states an equal-consideration date of 1 March for Fall entry and 1 November for Winter entry, which for the 2027 cycle fall on 1 March 2027 (Fall) and 1 November 2026 (Winter), with Winter 2027 applications opening 15 September 2026.

Admission proceeds round by round on a rolling basis after each equal-consideration date until seats are filled. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
