When
We Started

Gilmore

teacher Zenaida Ferry, who was a graduate of the University of the
Philippines, McGill University and Concordia University, and has
an extensive working experience in four different businesses before
becoming a business education teacher in the Montreal Catholic School
Commission.
Gilmore

of an individual as well as to create a learning environment that
promotes and enhances a person's potential to succeed in his/her
personal and professional life.

Gilmore
opened its doors to the public on November 1, 1989. It was first operated
with an education permit, giving personal self-imporvement courses
such as Image & Personality Development, Executive Secretarial Skills,
Stress Management, Languages, until 1995 when its college permit was
granted, authorizing it to offer Collegial Level Programmes (A.E.C.)
such as: Office Systems Technology, Accounting & Automation, and International
Trade.
Then
in 1999, office systems technology courses were revamped, giving every
college the freedom to design and choose its own programs and have
them approved by the Quebec Ministry of Education. In 2003, Gilmore
College has submitted for approval two new programs to replace the
former A.E.C. in Office Systems Technology, namely, Office Systems
Management and Micro-Edition and Hypermedia. These programs are designed
to prepare an adult learner to work in any computerized office environment
and be an office manager, executive assistant, webpage designer, bilingual
secretary-receptionist, accounting technician, bookkeeper or accounting
clerk. |
