AME Program at College of North Atlantic.

[cnetplanet]

Can anyone please tell me about the AME program at College of North Atlantic in a bit detail?

I was wondering if anyone has done the AME from North Atlantic or aware of the program facilities and reputation of the college for AME program.

I was actually planning to apply for AME-E (Avionics Program) at CANADOREC. But just got to know about the program at North Atlantic which combines course of M & E both.

Please help me or suggest me something if you can.

The program at CNA will not give you the qualifications to obtain your E license. It is an M program only with the basic electrical knowledge requirement of that program. If you want to be a wire puller enroll in an 'E' program.

According to TCCA's listing of ATO's, CNA's program is for M and E.

Unless things have changed, I do not know where you're getting your info from. I went to this school and I have both......my E came first, then I worked on my M2

I will add though that if you're going to do a 3 year program like this, do something else. There are good AME jobs out there, but not a lot and things seem to be getting worse on a regular basis (see Aveos as a great example of the trends in aircraft maintenance).......you'd be better off doing just about any engineering program at CNA than the AME course. You'll be done sooner, and you'll probably make more money.

Its a 2years of program at College of North Atlantic. In Program section its mentioned that

"This program is accredited by Transport Canada as meeting the basic training requirements for the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer’s license categories “M1”, “M2” and “E”. Transport Canada also grants qualified graduates a 21-month experience credit towards the 48 months required and credit for having completed the required knowledge exams. After successful completion of this program and the required work experience, apprentices qualify to write an exam in Aircraft Maintenance Regulations to acquire an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer’s license."

I mainly want to know about below mentioned things if someone can give me info about it.

1. how many and what type of aircrafts college has got in their facility of this program.

2. And also want to know about the apprenticeship or hiring rate after graduation.

3. Hows the overall program & reputation about the college in aviation industry in canada?


I have gone through so many interesting postings from highly experienced masters on this forum but didnt heard of anything about CNA.

It will be a great help if someone can give me some idea about the same.

They have some great instructors!. The course when I did it was 3 years and gave you a great!!!!!! overall training. on M, E &S stuff and gave you accreditation on all 3. 21 months was the most you could get. I think the hiring rate is very high. The course is now 2 years and seems to have most of the material. I feel the only thing that may have suffered was the loss of a 2 semesters of electrical training. It was some great stuff. Can't say enough good about the school and instructors, but again you get back what you put in! Cheers, I hope that helped.
