Schedules adapted to adult students.

You will have great flexibility in program dates. You will also appreciate our class schedules which will allow you to study while taking up your work-family responsibilities, if any.

A program tailored to the realities of employment.

Our photography training program was developed in consultation with photography market representatives. You will therefore perform work very similar to the mandates that your future employer will give you. If it’s your own job that challenges you, there are several periods devoted to starting a business so that you can be independent once your photography diploma is in your pocket.

From theory, yes, but mostly a lot of practice.

More than 80% of the photography training is dedicated to the practice. This is how you will truly acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to become a professional photographer, whether at a company or freelance.

Since your success is ours too, we are there when needed.

We understand that an adventure is not an easy one. So you can count on us through recovery courses, individual support and recovery exams. You will also have access to our large format print center, our 8 studios and our 6 digital laboratories if you want to improve your performance by working on personal projects.

An entry point to your new career.

Once you have successfully completed your AEC in photography, you can continue to count on us to take on your next challenge – looking for a job. We will help you build a personalized portfolio that will enhance and capture the attention of employers and customers. We refer our graduates to employers who request it through our online placement service. Almost every day, our graduates receive job offers by email.
