Recognition of Acquired Competencies (RAC)

Recognition of Acquired Competencies (RAC)

 

What is RAC?

The recognition of acquired competencies (RAC) is a process that allows adults to be evaluated and obtain official recognition (credits) for competencies acquired on the job or through real-life experience in relation to a program of study (DEC - diplômes d'études collégiales or AEC - attestation d'études collégiales).

 

Who is RAC for?

The adult who has gained significant experience in an area related to a college level program of study.

RAC allows you to:

• improve your job prospects
• improve your qualifications and keep your job
• increase your chances of getting a job
• identify the competencies you have already acquired and obtain the ones you are missing
• shorten your time in school
• facilitate a career change
• identify your training or retraining needs
• obtain the prerequisites you need for certain training programs
