Training
 Academic or professional training in photonics is still mainly available through general programs in physics or electronics. However, Québec universities and colleges (cégeps) are increasingly striving toward more specialized curricula to keep in sync with new market realities. Photonics training as a separate field of endeavour is growing but strong mainstream training still opens many doors.
All Bachelor programs (physics, physics engineering, etc.) currently offer courses exclusively focused on or involving photonics. Undergraduate and graduate level specialized programs are also available (for more details, see below; Québec-defined levels used throughout).
The main non specialized career program in Québec’s colleges (cégeps) is Electronics Engineering Technology, with several courses tackling some aspect of photonics. Again, specialized programs are available (for more details, see below; Québec-defined levels used throughout).
Also, several companies offer professional development training focusing on photonics.
