About the university
Cégep Édouard-Montpetit is a public CEGEP in Longueuil, on the South Shore of Montreal, and includes the École nationale d'aérotechnique (ÉNA). For international students it opens only three technical DECs: electrical engineering technology (networks and telecommunications), optics and eyewear (optique et lunetterie) and early childhood education. ÉNA's aerospace programmes are not on that list. All teaching is in French.
International students are admitted once a year, for August. The college gives yearly tuition as a range of CAD 15,050 to 23,480 depending on the programme, without naming each programme's fee, so we list no course fees here. It estimates a total yearly budget of about CAD 41,587 to 50,017.
