The Centre de formation professionnelle de Lachine is located in Montreal in the Lachine borough. It belongs to the Centre de services scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys (CSSMB) and serves a young and adult clientele of nearly 600 students. The centre describes itself as a well-involved partner in the community, offering quality training to the Lachine community.
The centre was created in 2001 by the merger of two educational institutions. These were originally the Lachine and Dalbé-Viau vocational training centres.
The centre offers nine vocational training programs and one specialization certificate. A DES-DEP in photography allows students to earn a secondary school diploma and a vocational diploma simultaneously in 2 years. The Entretien général d'immeubles and Mécanique de machines fixes programs are offered in alternating work-study with partnerships with companies. The Refrigeration program has been a competitor at the Olympiades de la formation professionnelle for several years.
The centre operates in two buildings: the Dalbé-Viau building at 750, rue Esther-Blondin and the de la Rive building at 46, 16e Avenue. The Dalbé-Viau building shares its premises with the École secondaire Dalbé-Viau, and the de la Rive building is located on the waterfront in Lachine. Listed facilities include a cafeteria, vending machines, lockers, a workshop store, public telephones, and parking.
