Great work so far. I'm happy to see that latex is slowly growing in different Cégep in Québec.
Here is my two cents.
First of all, every piece of text is within a
\textsf{}. You could define it globaly by putting
\sffamily inside the
titlepage environment. It will clean your code and it scope will be limited to the
titlepage environment.

The logo was placed by eye, so its top edge *apparently* touches the top margin.
Is there a better way to achieve this ?
The space was created by the indent. Your image start a new paragraph and this paragraph have an indent. The
\flushleft command solve your problem, the
\vspace{-0.3in} is useless.

The first table appears to be okay.
You could improve it with the tabularx package. The x column type allows to use the rest of the line. Thus your compétence text will go all the way to the margin.
Code: Select all
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{l@{\hspace{1em}}Xl}

\textbf{Pondération :} & 3-2-3 \\[12pt]

1. The second column should be closer to the last column.
Define a different
\extracolsep between each column.

2. "Local" and "Poste téléphonique" should be centered on top of their content.
Use a c column type.

3. The horizontal rule need a better (symetrical) spacing above and under it.
This is cause by the
\\[6pt]. To balance things , you could use a rule of 0pt width
\rule[depth]{width}{height}. It wont appear and wont disrupt things. Placing
\rule{0pt}{20pt} before John Doe will solve it. The 20pt might need to be adjusted.

One last comment, to avoid inconsistency between different plan de cours, your last table could use a
p{width} column for the name (leaving out the extracolsep between the first and second column). Thus a plan de cours from class given only by Louis Cyr or one from a class given only by Apu Nahasapeemapetilon will have the "local" and "poste téléphonique" at exactly the same position.
Sorry for the long post and have a nice day
