Wind Turbine Maintenance

Students in the Wind Turbine Maintenance Technician program explore the theory supporting wind turbines and the practical maintenance procedures required to maintain turbine output with safe work practices emphasized throughout the program. Upon completion of the program, students are prepared to enter the field as wind turbine technicians and can progress to higher levels of certification within the industry. The program starts with the Electrician foundation training courses and proceeds to the Wind Turbine specific job site safety training before continuing with Electrician level 1 training. Students then go on a 6 week practicum through the summer months and return in fall for Millwright Foundation training and a final two-week practicum with the same host as the past summer. — Northern Lights College
