Program details
Overview
Ce certificat postdiplôme de deux semestres prépare des professionnels capables d'appliquer les principales techniques de la science des données, de l'apprentissage machine et de l'apprentissage profond dans les grands secteurs de l'industrie et des services. L'étudiant apprend à mener un projet d'IA selon les meilleures pratiques et son cycle de vie propre, tout en atténuant les enjeux et les risques d'un déploiement responsable et éthique. L'approche par compétences repose sur des études de cas et des projets d'intégration authentiques ; la terminologie bilingue des cours et le mode comodal, en présentiel comme à distance, ajoutent à la flexibilité du parcours.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This postgraduate certificate admits candidates who already hold a computing-related credential: any diploma in computer science (DEC, AEC, TGI, programming, bachelor's, master's or certificate) is accepted, and a bachelor's or master's in mathematics or statistics is also accepted provided the transcript shows programming coursework, since the page notes that Canadian and Quebec mathematics bachelor's degrees are deemed to include such courses. Applicants whose prior credential is an engineering diploma must instead sit La Cité's placement test and score at least 20 out of 30 (70%); those who fall short are not admitted. The page sets no French or English test score for this route; La Cité's own language-test page states a college-wide minimum of 375 points (written comprehension) on the TCF or 352 points on the TEF for applicants who must demonstrate French competency. The page also repeats La Cité's general international-applicant wording (a secondary diploma/baccalaureate, or final year of secondary school with proof of enrolment), though that route appears written for the college's programmes generally rather than for this postgraduate certificate specifically.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for Fall 2027 entry the online application opened on 26 September 2026, colleges may start sending offers from 1 November 2026, and 1 February 2027 is the equal-consideration date; La Cité's own highly-competitive (quota) programmes are evaluated from 1 February 2027, with offers sent by mid-February 2027. International applicants apply through collegesdelontario.ca (SACO/OCAS) for a non-refundable CAD 350 fee and are checked against La Cité's own programme-availability table rather than a fixed date; the college states admission is competitive and never guaranteed, and publishes no fixed international closing date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
