Wind Turbine Technology
A one-year certificate program training students to install and maintain wind turbines. Covers mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems, with extensive safety training including fall protection, confined space entry, lock out/tag out, and emergency rescue. Students must be physically fit and comfortable working at heights and in confined spaces. Practical training takes place at utility wind farms in the region. Graduates are prepared to begin an apprenticeship in the wind energy industry.
Prerequisites: Grade 12 or equivalent with credits at or above the general level, Résumé including work and volunteer experience
