AUDITIONS DEE in Circus arts

Opening for the auditions applications
November 1st, 2024

Deadline to send applications
February 1st, 2025

The Diploma of Establishment Studies (DEE) is offered to people aged 18 and over who are not from Quebec or France and who cannot be eligible for the DEC.

This 3-year program leads to an establishment studies diploma (certificate) awarded directly by the École de cirque de Québec. Candidates must be in excellent physical shape, have good regular training experience and must have developed skill in a circus discipline.

Unlike the DEC, the DEE does not guarantee obtaining the post-graduation work permit.

The École de cirque de Québec provides specific technical training in the circus arts including theoretical courses relating to training and the profession of circus artist.

Since the DEE is not part of the Quebec public education system, the fees will be higher than those of the DEC.
