Offered by Red River College Polytechnic in Winnipeg, Canada, Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineer is a diploma in Aviation Studies programme. The programme runs for 2 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 16,766 per year (CAD 7,748 per year for local students).
This two-year diploma program provides Transport Canada-approved basic training toward the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer 'M' License, combining maintenance theory with practical projects on both fixed-wing airplanes and helicopters. It is delivered full-time at the Stevenson Campus in Winnipeg, with entry dates in January, August, and October. On graduation, students are credited with nineteen of the forty-eight months of aviation maintenance experience Transport Canada requires for licensing, and must complete the remaining on-the-job experience after the program to become licensed. The program is accredited by the Canadian Council for Aviation and Aerospace and is recognized under the Canadian Forces Non-Commissioned Member Subsidized Education Plan. It suits individuals seeking a career in aircraft maintenance across both airplane and helicopter platforms, providing the classroom and hands-on foundation needed before completing the practical experience required for Transport Canada licensure.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires proof of completion of, or enrolment in the final year of, a recognized provincial or territorial Canadian high school diploma or equivalent, with final grades due by 15 July for fall enrolment if enrolment-only proof was first submitted. Applicants must also successfully complete the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Readiness Assessment (AMERA) at the levels the program requires; results must be dated within two years of application, no extensions are granted, and completing AMERA before applying is strongly advised. Applicants who completed three years of full-time secondary education in Canada, the US, or an ELR-exempt country in English meet the language requirement; others must meet RRC Polytech's diploma-level English assessment table, for example IELTS Academic (overall 6.0, no band below 5.5) or TOEFL iBT (4.0 overall, minimum 3.5 per component). International transcripts from outside Canada, the US, or an ELR-exempt country require an International Credentials Assessment fee before review, and out-of-province domestic applicants are considered only if seats remain three months before the program start.
Application Details
Start Date:October, January and August
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants apply directly to RRC Polytech. The college states that most programs, including many trades and technology diplomas, have no fixed application deadline and remain open for registration until the program start date or until seats fill, while a smaller set of higher-demand programs (started in August or September) does carry a published deadline, listed through an interactive search tool on the college's Application Deadlines page. The specific cut-off dates for individual programs, and any distinct international deadline, could not be extracted from that page by automated means, so admission for most of this institution's programs is best treated as rolling rather than tied to a fixed date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
