Program details

Overview

Wind Turbine Technician is a certificate program at Vancouver Community College that trains students to install, maintain, and troubleshoot wind turbines for entry-level roles in wind farm operations and maintenance. The curriculum covers safety protocols, mechanical and electrical systems, technical documentation, component maintenance and troubleshooting, and project management for turbine operations, delivered on campus at the Broadway campus through lectures, group work, case studies, discussions, guest speakers, and online activities. The program runs 30 weeks over two terms on a full-time basis, with a maximum completion window of three years. It admits students each September, with a January intake also available and noted as eligible for entrance awards. The credential prepares graduates for entry-level technician work supporting wind energy infrastructure rather than requiring a prior trades background beyond the stated admission requirements.
