Aircraft Maintenance Diplomas and Apprenticeships

Aircraft Structure Foundation Certificates

Aircraft assemblers assemble, fit and install prefabricated parts to manufacture fixed wing or rotary wing aircraft or aircraft subassemblies. Aircraft assembly inspectors inspect aircraft assemblies for adherence to engineering specifications. They are employed by aircraft and aircraft subassembly manufacturers.

The Aircraft Gas Turbine Technician Certificate was developed in collaboration with the gas turbine engine overhaul industry. It was designed to meet industry’s need for basic training and technician certification. Over the 38-week program, you'll spend approximately 40 per cent of the day on theory discussions in a classroom setting, followed by hands-on practical training in the shops and hangar located at BCIT’s Aerospace Technology Campus.
