Rouyn-Noranda, Canada • Founded 1967
Updated Sep 2026
Overview
Cégep de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue is a public collegial institution serving Quebec's Abitibi-Témiscamingue region from three campuses, in Rouyn-Noranda, Val-d'Or and Amos.
Its pre-university Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) programs cover cinema, languages, visual arts, music, natural sciences, and two profiles of human sciences (with or without mathematics). Technical DEC programs span administration and information technology; nursing, prehospital emergency care, pharmacy technology and physiotherapy technology; forestry technology; early-childhood education, special-needs education, criminology intervention, police technology and social work; and architecture, civil engineering, electrical automation and control, industrial mechanical maintenance, and mineral technology.
A standard Tremplin DEC pathway, plus a version aimed specifically at Indigenous students, helps learners prepare for regular programs, and the college also grants Attestations d'études collégiales (AEC) through continuing education. Instruction is primarily in French.
Spread across three towns rather than one urban site, the cégep functions as the main public post-secondary access point for a large, sparsely populated territory, pairing university-transfer preparation with technical training aimed at regional needs in health, natural resources, industry and public safety.
It suits residents of the region seeking either a pre-university diploma or a directly employable technical credential without relocating outside Abitibi-Témiscamingue.
