Training Locations
There are a wide variety of training programs, certifications, diplomas, and degrees that are specific to the aviation and aerospace industry including training for maintenance, manufacturing, flight, airport operations and engineering. Skills learned are often transferable from one occupation to another within the industry, and to other industries.
CCAA Accreditation is the recognition by CCAA that a training organization meets the developed standards for the delivery of a particular CCAA training program. CCAA Accreditation may apply to both training institutions and companies looking to accredit a training program. The Accreditation process ensures that a training institution or company meets or exceeds the standards in terms of content, administration, resources, faculty and facilities. Look for colleges and training organizations that offer such accreditation as proof that your training meets the national standard.
See the CCAA website for a list of Accredited Training Locations.
