Program details
Overview
Financial Services and Insurance Technology (410.F0) is a three-year career Diploma of Collegial Studies at Vanier College covering finance fundamentals together with personal and commercial insurance, investment planning, wealth management, risk assessment, insurance law and policy, and financial planning and analysis, alongside general business courses. The program is accredited by Quebec's financial-markets regulator, the Autorité des marchés financiers, and is built to prepare students for the professional exams employers in the sector typically require. Students complete a four-week internship in their final semester, giving them direct exposure to a financial-services or insurance workplace before graduating. The program page notes that French fluency is required for admission, while no specific mathematics prerequisite is needed, distinguishing it from many other technical programs at the college. It suits students aiming at careers in banking, insurance, and investment services, particularly those interested in asset management or wealth protection who want to work in bilingual financial environments and value the program's emphasis on practical, industry-connected training over pure theory.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Financial Services and Insurance Technology has no mathematics prerequisite ("there are no longer any Math prerequisites for this program"), beyond Vanier's college-wide Quebec secondary-school baseline. The programme page itself states French fluency is required for admission, alongside the English needed since instruction is in English; no numeric test score (IELTS/TOEFL) is published for either language. Vanier's admissions pages otherwise confirm English-proficiency testing is no longer a general admission requirement, while a CEFR B2 French test (TCF, DELF, DALF or TEF) is required of out-of-province or international applicants who did not complete Quebec secondary schooling.
