You have chosen to take a challenge by pursuing a DVS. We use the word challenge because, for some of you, this is the first time you are studying in your newly-adopted country of Canada; for others, it may be a return to school after years in the workplace or raising a family.

We have a great location with easy access by bus or metro just 10 minutes away from downtown Montreal.

For more than 15 years we have been offering state of the art education & training in the business & health sectors.
