Yes. One of the objectives of these courses is to prepare students for the OQLF exams of the different health care programmes.

In addition to these courses, there are OQLF Exam Preparation Workshops organized with the different programmes to help students prepare for the OQLF exams. In these workshops, students have the possibility of practicing with a mock exam similar to the ones given at the OQLF.
