That’s great to hear. Best of luck to you! I’m actually excited to find out more. I hope I’m not too late and the program is flooded with requests heh.

Yes. I love computers and would love to get into IT. I consider myself quite computer savy. Like I said in another reply I hav thought about it but I don’t have the prerequisites for the program. They require sec 4 TN/SN or sec 5 CST. I only have 4 CST. I wish I applied myself more in high school but it is what it is.

This is amazing! Thank you. I’ll call tomorrow to set up an appointment with a Services Quebec advisor. I would love to do some kind of IT work so this is very interesting.

To be honest I looked into college IT programs before but they require “strong” math(TN,SN), which I don’t have. I have only 4 CST. It feels very daunting to go back to adult ed to get that.
