What Institut Grasset, le campus technique du Collège André-Grasset does

Institut Grasset is the technical continuing-education campus of Collège André-Grasset, a private Quebec college recognized by the Ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur. Founded in 2003 from the parent college's Centre de formation continue (which traces back to the 1990s), the institute delivers accelerated French-language AEC (Attestation d'études collégiales) and DEC (Diplôme d'études collégiales) programs to adult career changers, organized across three families: Technologies (cybersecurity, AI, cloud computing, programming, 3D animation), Building (inspection, construction estimation, real estate valuation), and Stenography. The 2022 acquisition of the École de sténographie judiciaire du Québec expanded the stenography portfolio, and 2025–2026 program launches (DEC Cybersécurité, DEC AI, DEC Animation 3D) plus first-in-Quebec AEC programs in AI-integrated construction estimation and real estate evaluation define the current growth axis.

The institute's product architecture combines in-person and hybrid instruction at the Mile End (Montréal) campus with online delivery for select programs, and integrates AI across all tracks both as a taught discipline (generative AI APIs, agentic workflows with LangGraph/n8n, RAG, AI-driven analytics with Power BI and BIM 5D, voice recognition for stenography) and as an operational layer through the third-party Nabunam AI educational platform, deployed in 2025 for personalized exam creation, scheduling, plagiarism reduction, and distance learning support. Curriculum is co-developed with industry employers and incorporates free professional certifications from Fortinet (cybersecurity) and ServiceNow (cloud), plus regulated credentials such as the RBQ building inspector approval under BNQ 3009-500/2022 standards.

The business model is tuition-based B2C, with per-session fees ranging from $2,344 to $3,071 CAD, total program tuition from $5,790 to $9,600 CAD, and Quebec residents eligible for government student loans. Revenue is supplemented by employer-driven placement demand through municipal partnerships (Ville de Montréal, Ville de Laval) and private-sector relationships (Groupe Altus, PCG Carmon). Customer acquisition runs through direct enrollment via the institutional website, open-house events (most recent: September 15–17, 2025), and organic social channels, with the dedicated Service des stages et du placement (launched April 2025) formalizing the student-to-employment pipeline.
