Collège Ellis

What Collège Ellis does

Collège Ellis is a Quebec-based private subsidized college (collège privé subventionné) operating within the province's CEGEP system across four physical campuses: Drummondville (headquarters, 235 rue Moisan), Trois-Rivières, Longueuil, and Montréal. It serves two primary customer segments — Quebec residents seeking technical college credentials and international students — through 13 programs organised into four sectors: Health (nursing, prehospital emergency care, respiratory therapy, physiotherapy), Human Services (special education, social work, legal techniques, police techniques), Administration (business administration and management, computerized financial administration), and IT (network security). Programs lead to either a Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) or Attestation d'études collégiales (AEC), with most DEC programs incorporating multiple internship stages (ranging from 1 stage over three years in legal techniques to 10 stages in nursing).

The institution operates a direct-to-consumer enrollment model that runs year-round outside the Quebec public college SRAM/SRACQ deadlines, with applications processed directly through the Omnivox student portal. Revenue is generated from three recurring streams: domestic student tuition (Quebec residents and other Canadian citizens/permanent residents on DEC and AEC programs), international student tuition (charged at a higher rate structure), and student housing at the Trois-Rivières and Drummondville campuses. Supporting student services include a multi-program scholarship portfolio (Rose-Ellis, regional workforce, perseverance, inter-regional mobility bursaries), adapted services for students with disabilities, and on-campus student residences at select locations.

The college is privately held with no disclosed external investors or parent company. Leadership is composed of a President (Alain Scalzo) and Director General (Stéphane Delisle), supported by an extensive internal management team covering academic studies, admissions, finance, marketing, and individual program coordination across each campus. Operating geographies are limited to Quebec, Canada, and no M&A activity, funding rounds, or material corporate restructurings are recorded in the source data.
