Trebas Institute

Trebas Institute is a for-profit private Canadian, bilingual, post-secondary college that offers music, film, business, technology and management programs, with campuses in Montreal, Quebec, and Toronto, Ontario.

History
Trebas Institute, also known as Institut Trebas, was founded in 1979 by David P. Leonard.

In May 2020, Trebas was acquired by Netherlands-headquartered private education company Global University Systems.

Trebas was voted as one of the best institutions "where to train as an artist" at the Toronto Star 2020 Readers’ Choice Awards in October 2020.
