How our courses work
Skills acquisition
Skills are acquired in two stages: technical learning and operational learning. As soon as a theoretical part is covered in class, we move on to practical work in the field. Candidates with theory fresh in their minds can therefore assimilate what they’ve seen in class much more effectively.
A whole range of intensive courses is available. Depending on the program chosen, training courses last from 1 to 13 weeks, depending on the machine(s) selected. Each course is unique and tailored to the needs and interests of the candidate and/or the company.

Women have their place
Did you know...
Did you know that the CNESST (CSST) reserves 30% of its budget for women and that only 3.1% of them benefit from it? Vocational rehabilitation could be your choice, why not equal pay? Equal pay for equal work…
Because all jobs are feminine, after all!
