Préalables fonctionnels

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.

When a DVS does not require any specific prerequisites in language of instruction or in mathematics, a (-) will be displayed in the appropriate field.

Infographiste

Les infographistes numérisent et retouchent des images. Ils effectuent des choix de lettrage et intègrent des images dans des mises en pages web ou imprimées. Ils réalisent des gabarits de mises en pages et assemblent des documents pour l’impression ou pour une diffusion multimédia. Dans le cadre de leurs fonctions, ils peuvent aussi avoir à prendre des photographies. C’est un métier créatif pour les personnes qui ont des aptitudes pour le dessin, la communication et les arts visuels en général. Un emploi comme infographiste exige curiosité, débrouillardise, concentration et application.
