Authorization by the Ministère is required for the concurrent admission of a student in Secondary III

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.

Installation of Concrete Reinforcement

Reinforcing ironworkers install steel bars and metal mesh to reinforce concrete used for building walls, pillars, flagstones and stairs. They assemble prefabricated components, attach reinforcing bars and mesh, bend and weld reinforcing steel. This is a construction trade that requires good physical stamina, as it requires working in various positions. This trade is suitable for people who are self-reliant, meticulous and responsible.
