Ideal Location

Unica College is the natural evolution of Musitechnic Formation.”
A sound engineering school founded in 1987 in Montreal by Gilles Valiquette, a well-known musician, composer and singer-songwriter. A visionary, he was convinced that technology (especially computers) would become the centerpiece of audio production and the music industry, to the point of creating the first diploma recognized by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education. entirely dedicated to computer-aided sound design.
This was long before everyone knew what a computer mouse, an MP3 player or even the Internet was. This vision and experience have made Musitechnic Formation a pioneer in its field.
Unica College was born from the desire to offer local and international communities access to cutting-edge training while meeting significant human resource needs in exciting fields. Our flagship program, the A.E.C. in Recording and Sound Design, recognized as an international reference in the field, remains unchanged although improved, with most of the same teachers and team members.
