Wind Turbine Technician Program & Course Highlights
The Wind Turbine Technician program is intended to prepare graduates for career opportunities in one of the fastest-growing energy sectors in the world. It has been developed for adult learners pursuing basic technician level training through independent study, specifically students who cannot attend college full-time because of work or family commitments. Here are the top reasons why students enrol in our program.
Launched in 2024, our WT Technician training program offers the full accreditation of one of the largest public community colleges in Canada.
George Brown College (GBC) is a fully-accredited post-secondary institution, and has established a reputation for equipping students with the skills, industry experience and credentials to pursue the careers of their choice. GBC offers over 300 programs across a wide variety of professions. Students can earn certificates, diplomas, industry accreditations, and undergraduate degrees.
There are over 140,000 wind turbine technicians employed in the U.S. and the number is expected to more than double within the next decade.
George Brown College offers you a number of easy registration and payment options to make it convenient and affordable for you to register in the Wind Turbine Technician program.
Enrol into the full program up front or register for program modules one at a time, through our pay-as-you-learn option. Our unique registration options allow for easy installment-type payments, starting with an initial fee of $580, then registration into each of the remaining 13 modules, at a cost of $90 each.

Our team of Program Consultants are available to help answer your questions about the Wind Turbine Technician program. They are here to help you figure out the best Certificate program based on your interests and goals, clearly explain the curriculum and how the simulation software can provide hands on training, minimum requirements needed to register and more.
One of the most important pieces of our program, that is critical to students success, is our technical, tutorial and administrative support. Our approach is to hire really great people, train them on our programs and then make them really easily accessible by our students
Our students receive tutorial, technical and administrative support from Support Consultants in our Student Support Center. The Support Center is open for extended hours on Monday to Friday, 9 am - 10 pm in the evening and on Saturday and Sunday from 9 am - 5 pm (EST).
Questions are always welcome here. Our dedicated staff is trained in every program to help our students work through questions about their program. And our phone lines are always open for you to call and speak with them directly.
We provide dedicated online discussion forums, where students can direct questions to our online tutor and interact with other students to seek assistance or simply exchange ideas or opinions about being a student in the program.
This easy-to-use, computer-based, self-paced program is designed to put you in charge of your technical training. The interactive curriculum, simulation software, student support, and online exams provide a completely flexible learning framework that allows you to learn, study, practice and complete the program on your terms
Included in the program are three simulation software products: 3DLab and CircuitLogix Pro and PLCLogix 500. PLC Logix 500 emulates the Rockwell Logix 500 series PLC control software. CircuitLogix is a powerful and easy to use 2D and 3D simulator. The 3DLab simulation software is intended to provide an introduction to the fundamentals of electricity and basic electronics using "real-world" components in a user-friendly lab environment.
The curriculum contains 14 modules of theory and lab projects. Each module contains text, animations, mini audio lectures, illustrations, review questions, 200 pre-built lab projects that provide a complete introduction to electronics, electronic and PLC systems.
Once you have worked through the module material and mastered the content you will be ready to take your online final exam. There are a total of 14 exams; one exam for each module in the program.
The flexible computer-based-training format is designed to fit into your schedule, not ours, so you can work at your own pace to complete the program. We provide you with curriculum and the support but leave the scheduling of studying and exams up to you. Of course, the more time that you put in the quicker you finish.
