Program Description Students can turn their fascination with helicopters, single-engine planes and jumbo jets into a career in as an aviation technician (AMT) in aircraft maintenance with training from Centennial College's Aviation Technology - Aircraft Maintenance & Management program, which Transport Canada (TC) accredits. Because the School of Transportation has been teaching aircraft and avionics maintenance for 40 years, it's highly regarded in the industry. Each of students' instructors will be highly skilled with years of technical expertise, industry experience and a deep commitment to their success. Top industry players also support the program. In fact, aviation industry giant Bombardier named Centennial College as its trainer of choice in the manufacturing and maintenance of its aerospace products. Additionally, program partners and supporters are members of Centennial College's advisory committees and participate as guest speakers and panelists. The wealth of knowledge and expertise they'll share with students will not only enhance their learning but will also give them valuable insight on the direction their career can take. The Aviation Technology - Aircraft Maintenance & Management program will provide students with an understanding of the different areas of aircraft maintenance, including general aviation, business and corporate aviation, and charter and transport category aviation. In the College's modern labs and impressive aircraft hangar, students will learn on both fixed and rotary wing aircraft with instructors walking them through techniques as they work on components such as airframes, engines, electrical and hydraulic systems, propellers, avionics equipment and aircraft instruments. Students will also learn the essential theory and base of knowledge that will serve as a launching pad for growing their career. Because it's such a robust program, Aviation Technology - Aircraft Maintenance & Management will also provide students with the basic training required to become a licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME – “M” rating), while giving them the opportunity to obtain additional business and management skills related to and required by the industry at large. As the holder of an AME license, students will be qualified to certify (or release) aircraft for flight after the completion of maintenance, inspection, repair or modification. The importance of that responsibility cannot be understated. To that end, this program will be comprehensive and will require students to be dedicated and focused throughout the learning process.
