Program details
Overview
This technical college diploma program prepares students for management careers in the hospitality industry, running three years across 2,850 hours with an average of 31 hours of coursework per week in the regular pathway; students who already hold a DEC (Quebec pre-university diploma) can follow an accelerated two-year option. A significant portion of specialized training is delivered through workplace-based learning, with a paid internship each session at a partner hospitality business. Coursework covers second-language business communication, personnel and human-resources management, hotel-specific management techniques, food and beverage service, sales, accounting operations, materials management, quality control, and marketing. Students also learn to manage front-desk and reservation services, housekeeping operations, and restaurant services within a hotel, and to coordinate group activities in the hotel and restaurant sector, while applying industry regulations. The program has no enrolment quota and no special admission conditions. It suits students aiming toward supervisory or management roles in hotels, resorts, conference centres, restaurants, and related tourism and hospitality businesses, and offers pathways into university programs in fields such as administration, marketing and tourism management.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Collège Mérici requires the general DEC entry standing for this Hospitality Management (Techniques de gestion hôtelière) programme: a Secondary 5 transcript from Quebec's Ministère de l'Éducation or the recognized equivalent, a $50 admission fee, and certified transcripts covering the applicant's last three years of study; candidates who did not study in French in Canada, France, Belgium, Monaco, or an accredited French lycée abroad must also submit French-language test results. The programme's own page lists no particular admission conditions beyond that baseline ('Aucune') and has no enrolment cap. Applicants who already hold a DEC may instead be admitted to an accelerated two-year pathway rather than the standard three-year programme.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to Collège Mérici, a private CEGEP, can begin applying online for the Automne 2027 intake starting 15 September 2026, per the college's own admissions announcement. No closing date, equal-consideration date, or program-specific deadline is published anywhere on the site: Mérici's admission and international pages are built as a client-side JavaScript application whose content could not be retrieved through a browser-UA fetch or an archived copy. No distinct international-applicant deadline, process, or statement on rolling admission is published either. Whether seats are filled on a rolling basis could not be confirmed from the institution's own pages and would need to be checked directly with its admissions office. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
