Missing Credits?

If you are missing credits and want to complete your High School Diploma, enter a vocational training program, or make a career plan, our SARCA agent at Eastern Québec can help you.
 

What is SARCA

It is an initiative from the MEES (Ministère de l'Éducation et de l'Enseignement supérieur) to encourage people aged 16 and older (including adults who have been out of school for some time) to complete their high school diploma or go into a vocational training programme.
