Attestations of college studies

The Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles proposes several short-term technical programs (between four months and two years) leading to an attestation of college studies (ACS). These programs consist solely of specific training, and do not include general academic courses (French, English, physical education, philosophy and complementary courses), unlike diplomas of college studies (DCS). 

In line with the realities and needs of the job market, these programs are particularly well suited to the objectives of adults wishing to perfect their skills in a specific field. They are also ideal for those wishing to acquire new qualifications or skills to transform their professional lives or reorient their careers.

Please note that ACS programs are offered in French.

To be eligible for a program of study leading to an ACS, you must have completed training deemed sufficient by the Cégep and meet one of the following conditions:

• you have interrupted your full-time studies or pursued full-time post-secondary studies for at least two consecutive semesters or one academic year;
• you are part of an agreement between the Cégep and an employer, or you benefit from a government program;
• you interrupted your full-time studies for a semester and continued your full-time post-secondary studies for a semester;
• you hold a diploma of vocational studies.

Specific admission requirements may also be defined for each ACS, as detailed on the program’s dedicated page.
