Cégep de Chicoutimi

[7][8] The CGQ is recognized by Quebec's Ministry of Education and Higher Learning as a College Centre for the Transfer of Technologies (CCTT).

[13] During their first year, students are asked to choose among the three offered specializations: multi-engine airplane, helicopter and seaplane.

[14] At the end of the three-year program, students obtain their professional piloting license in their chosen specialization along with a diplôme d’études collégiales (DEC).

On September 21, 2009, Quebec's Ministry of Economic Development, Innovation and Export Trade, together with Industry Canada, awarded the Cégep de Chicoutimi 5.7 million dollars.

[18] Later, in 2010, the Cégep de Chicoutimi launched an electrical program in Senegal, with $300,000 in funding from the Government of Canada.

[19] In wing A are the offices for various student services, including financial aid and counselling,[20] along with the psychology department and the pre-university programs.

[21][20] Wing H includes classrooms and laboratories for several departments: chemistry, biology, geography, physical education, and mathematics.

It is the only public CEGEP in Quebec to offer an aviation program recognized by the Ministry of Education, Recreation and Sports.
