"As a tech in British Columbia, we’re lucky to work at stunning mountain sites—many that are only reachable by helicopter or snowmobile. Repair and maintenance days in these remote spots aren’t just part of the job—they’re the ones we never forget."
Training to become a technical services technologist begins with a two-to-three week orientation course. This represents the first stage of how we invest in your learning journey.
To expand skillsets and develop expertise in air navigation technology, trainees can attend up to 50 courses in the first three years with NAV CANADA. Courses are delivered by both our Competency and Training team and external partners. This is invaluable hands-on learning guided by experienced instructors and mentors at technical services work centres.
To support various learning styles, some courses are available through self-study modules and virtual programs. The instructional team regularly updates the course catalogue, and once official training is completed, qualified technologists can work with mentors on-site to gain more practical experience with equipment.
