Cégep André-Laurendeau is a public French-language cégep located at 1111, rue Lapierre in the LaSalle borough of Montreal, Quebec.

Its regular (formation régulière) division offers pre-university and technical DEC programs, with technical fields spanning computer science technology, physics engineering technology, civil engineering technology, electrical engineering technology (automation and control), business management, accounting and management, operations and supply-chain management, building estimation and evaluation technology, and social work. A continuing-education division (Formation continue) delivers AEC attestations, RAC skills-recognition pathways, professional-development courses, and francisation classes that teach French to newcomers.

The cégep operates a Passerelle DEC-BAC arrangement that channels graduates directly into partner university bachelor's programs, and an Alternance Travail-Études co-op model that places students in paid work terms across nine eligible technical prograMs. A dedicated international-admissions track serves candidates from abroad, and a DEC-Portable option integrates laptops into coursework. A Laboratoire intégré de formation technique supports hands-on technical instruction.

Instruction throughout is in French.

The institution suits recent Quebec secondary-school graduates completing a pre-university diploma before university entry, working adults pursuing a technical credential or workplace upgrading through continuing education, and international or newcomer students who need French-language preparation alongside their program of study.

Academic Details

The basic academic profile of Cégep André Laurendeau, including enrolment and faculty composition. Total student count fluctuates intake-to-intake; treat the figure as approximate rather than precise.

Admission Requirements: DOMESTIC APPLICANTS (Quebec / Canadian). Academic basis: the general college-admission conditions set by Quebec's Minister apply; verify them and each program's subject prerequisites on the SRAM site and on the program's own page before applying. Each program also carries its own subject prerequisites, published on that program's own page. Where more qualified applicants apply than there are seats, the Cote R (R-score) - calculated from cumulative average, ministerial-exam results and program prerequisites - ranks candidates. How to apply: online through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM) at admission.sram.qc.ca, which handles admission for every Montreal-area Cégep including André-Laurendeau; the Cégep makes the final decision and SRAM relays the answer. Applications for the Fall session open mid-January with a first-round deadline of 1 March; for Winter they open mid-September with a first-round deadline of 1 November. INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS. Only a limited number of André-Laurendeau's technical programs admit international students; the college's own page (which describes this as 'five' programs) names Soins infirmiers, Techniques d'éducation à l'enfance, Techniques de travail social and Gestion des opérations et de la chaîne logistique - check the current international program list before applying, since the fifth program is not printed. The academic basis is a minimum of 11 years of schooling plus the chosen program's prerequisites. French-language test: mandatory for all international applicants at SRAM sign-up except French nationals (Quebec-France agreement). Accepted tests: Bright, TCF tout public (TCF Québec and TCF Canada are NOT accepted), DALF, and TEF (compréhension écrite, compréhension orale, lexique et structure sections); results are valid 2 years. Required level: 'niveau avancé', stated as equivalent to CEFR C1. How to apply: through the same SRAM portal. Deadline to submit an application is 14 March for the Fall session or 31 May for the Winter session; the college recommends applying for Fall to leave time for immigration paperwork. Fees: an $85 CAD SRAM file-analysis fee, plus roughly $200 CAD in registration/insurance costs (tuition is separate and varies by program and nationality; French nationals are exempt from tuition under the 2001 Quebec-France agreement). After a positive decision, the admission notice arrives 3-8 weeks after the SRAM status change, followed by the Certificat d'acceptation du Québec (CAQ) and study-permit applications.
