Avionics Maintenance – Aviation Technician

Centennial College’s Aviation Technician – Avionics Maintenance program is geared to the needs of the aircraft industry and will give learners the essential theoretical knowledge and the practical skills to apply that knowledge on real aircraft and aircraft systems, under the focused direction of faculty. Not only do these faculty members bring years of industry experience and extensive technical expertise to the program, but they’re also deeply committed to student’s success and to making this a highly desirable program.

In fact, aviation industry giant Bombardier named Centennial College as its trainer of choice in the manufacturing and maintenance of its aerospace products. Program partners and supporters, meanwhile, are members of Centennial College’s advisory committees and participate as guest speakers and panelists, sharing their wealth of knowledge and expertise. That means students not only learn first-hand where their career can take them, but  also receive invaluable insight from those who have shaped the industry. Graduates will be in a perfect position to begin their career working with industry leaders.

The best way to learn a skill is hands-on. At the School of Transportation, students have access to a variety of dedicated aviation labs and shops, including a large and impressive aircraft hangar, where they will work on a variety of systems and aircraft. Upon graduation, students will be well prepared for work as a bench technician in avionics-approved shops at a variety of aviation organizations.

Students learn the essential theory and broad base of knowledge for complex electronics and electrical systems related to the navigation, guidance, communications, instrumentation and flight controls of an aircraft. Working in labs, shops and the aircraft hangar, students practice the tasks and skills associated with shop bench work, and the testing, troubleshooting, repair, removal and installation of electrical, electronic and instrumentation systems.

Additional ancillary fees for career services, health and counselling, athletics, student ID cards, and more may apply.
