Technical college training in fine woodworking

We give the program’s specialization courses in our specialized school-workshop. These courses are given to small groups by professional and experienced artisans and craftspeople involved in the design or fine-woodworking field.

As a complement, the Cégep du Vieux Montréal offers general college training courses on its own premises. The course schedules are formulated to minimize travel between the two schools.

Ready to take action? Applications must be submitted via the Service régional d’admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM) between when the system opens in January and March 1 for the first semester. Consult the “Important dates” section on the Cégep du Vieux Montréal (CVM) website to see the detailed schedule.

If you need more information on the registration process, consult the CVM’s section “Préparation de votre demande d’admission” for all the details.

The college training course in fine woodworking lasts at least three years, and the technical courses are offered only during the day.

This training program is available in the fall only; it is therefore not possible to begin the program in the winter session.

To be admitted to our training program, you must:

• Hold a secondary school diploma (SSD, or DES) from the youth sector or the adult education sector OR hold a diploma of vocational studies (DVS, or DEP) OR have training deemed equivalent
• Demonstrate sufficient mastery of the French language

Consult the CVM’s page “Admission – formation régulière” for details on conditions for admission.

This training program is open to international applicants. For information on eligibility requirements, the registration process, migration procedures, required documents, and other relevant references and information, consult the CVM’s page “Étudiantes et étudiants internationaux.”

Once your application is accepted, an academic advisor from CVM will assess the possibility of crediting you for some of your courses on the basis of your school record.

General college tuition fees are payable to CVM. They include tuition, costs, and charges. See the CVM’s section “Frais reliés aux études” for more details on these tuition fees.

Costs specific to the specialization in fine woodworking are also to be anticipated in each session. These are mainly expenses for purchasing materials and tools, which you will then own.

The Loans and Bursaries Program of the Ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur is the main source of financial assistance for students. This program aims to help those who are attending school full time and have insufficient financial resources. Consult the Ministère’s web page “Loans and Bursaries programs” to learn more about the financial assistance available.

All students who are members of the Association Générale Étudiante du Cégep du Vieux Montréal (AGECVM) are automatically enrolled in the Régime étudiant d’assurance collective, a group insurance plan administered by the Alliance pour la Santé Étudiante au Québec (ASEQ).
