Functional Prerequisites

A person who has reached the age of 18 can be admitted to a program of study leading to a Diploma of vocational studies (DVS) based on functional prerequisites. These prerequisites, in place for those aged at least 18 years at the start date declared for the vocational training program, are: successful completion of the general development test (GDT) and obtaining and passing the tests relative to the specific prerequisites in the language of instruction and mathematics, if applicable.

This table indicates the new course codes for common core basic education (CCBE) and diversified basic education (DBE) required for the specific prerequisites in language of instruction and mathematics for the targeted program of study. In the cases where the new course codes for the CCBE and the DBE are in progressive implementation, the old codes are indicated in parenthesis and are still valid. The equivalent course codes in basic education in the youth sector are also indicated in the table. When a DVS does not require any specific prerequisites in language of instruction or in mathematics, a (-) will be displayed in the appropriate field. Please note that the functional prerequisites do not apply to attestation of vocational specialty (AVS) programs.

Pharmacy Technical Assistance (New Version)

Pharmacy technical assistants greet clients and answer their inquiries. Under pharmacist supervision, they fill prescriptions. They keep client files up to date in databases, perform transactions at the register and maintain inventory. They may also work in medical clinics. This is an essential trade in high demand. A job as a pharmacy technical assistant requires discretion, respect and honesty. It is suitable for people with good listening skills who like to work in a team.
