Examination updates: 

Courses and examinations offered in French
All of the courses making up the FLMI program and the ACS program are offered in French. Students can be enrolled for these exams via LOMANET. 

When enrolling via LOMANET, it is important to select French as the "preferred language" for the exam so that the system will know to present the examination in French when the student enters his or her login ID and password.

Canadian I*STAR centers
There are I*STAR exam centers in Montreal, Quebec City, and Edmonton, for independent students, and for students who do not have access to I*STAR in their own company. An I*STAR center is selected during the enrollment process on the LOMANET system. Ed Rep or students should contact the I*STAR center directly to set up an appointment for the exam, and students should have their student ID and password with them when they go the I*STAR center to sit for the exam.

French diplomas
If any courses are completed in French, any certificate or diploma earned will be issued in French, unless LOMA receives a specific request to issue it in English.

FLMI Society of Montreal: classroom instruction and correspondence courses
LOMA offers study guides for all of its courses, but many students benefit from the structure and discipline offered by taking a class. The FLMI Society of Montreal offers classroom instruction and correspondence courses for all of the French-language FLMI and ACS courses, as well as for a few courses in English. To request more information on these courses, please visit the Society’s web site: www.flmi-montreal.ca/. Please note that enrollment for these courses is a separate process from exam enrollment with LOMA, and that signing up for one of their classes does not mean that the student is automatically enrolled for the LOMA exam.
