Today you are taking the first step in your continued education for a new career. Although there are no guarantees in these times of economic uncertainty, this industry historically has had a great success rate for students hired after completion of the program.

Aviation, in general, is a very complex industry with many different levels and skill sets. Although we will concentrate on the gas turbine engine, other topics will filter in and overlap during this program. We have support from industry in the local area in the areas of tools, software, shop tours and OJT placements.

Please be aware that there may extra requirements for OJT sites. The requirements will depend on the type of service and the level of safety and security within the OJT site. OJT sites may require the student to meet preconditions prior to being able to accept the student. These preconditions could include a security assessment application; criminal records check; credit check; residential history; employment history; government-issued identification. The OJT site has the right to deny the student access to their facilities.

Aircraft turbine technicians are employed mainly in Transport Canada’s Approved Maintenance Organizations conducting engine overhauls, repairs, and modifications. Gas turbine engines are classified as Turbojet, Turboprop and Turboshaft, which power both fixed and rotary-wing aircraft. In addition, gas turbines are utilized in industrial applications to generate electricity and pump oil and gas through pipelines.

The skill sets and experience gained in this program will be beneficial for employment in facilities that overhaul, repair, and modify gas turbine components. Examples: Fuel controls, pumps, nozzles and heaters, propeller governors, oil pumps, flow dividers and valves.

Congratulations on making the choice to take this training.
