Our Training Partner: RRC - Stevenson Campus
Stevenson Campus was established in 1984 with a mandate
to provide skills training and upgrading to meet skill shortages and other identified
human resource needs within the Canadian aviation industry. In 1992, Stevenson
moved its campus out to the former Airforce base at Southport near Portage La
Prairie.
In 2002, Stevenson Campus merged with Red
River College to form the new entity. This merger also includes Stevenson's Southport
campus. The amalgamation of the two entities
provides greater flexibility in programming, and more effective use of training
staff, equipment and other resources in responding to industry demand.
The courses are nationally accredited and certified by either Transport Canada
of CAMC, ensuring recognition and portability throughout Canada for graduates.
Aerospace Manufacturing Technician
Aerospace Manufacturing Technician is a five month certificate program with
start dates in September and February. This program was developed through a
collaborative effort between Boeing Canada, Bristol Aerospace and Red River
College. Students acquire the skills and techniques required in the aerospace
industry. In a state-of-the-art training facility at Stevenson Aviation and
Aerospace Training Centre, students are prepared for positions as skilled production
workers in the area of aerospace composite manufacturing.
The program includes nine separate courses consisting of theory-based lectures
followed by practical project-based workshops. The training is 25% theory-based
and 75% hands-on learning based.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) involves a number of inspection techniques designed
to detect discontinuities or defects (such as cracks) in different types of
materials. NDT is used in many different fields such as the aircraft industry,
pipelines, nuclear reactors, automotive servicing and many others. Specialized
areas of NDT taught by Stevenson Aviation and Aerospace Training Centre - Red
River College include Eddy Current, Magnetic Particle, and Liquid
Penetrant. Stevenson Aviation and Aerospace Training Centre - Red River College is
the only Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) certified NDT Test Centre
in Manitoba.
AME - Aircraft Maintenance Engineer
This is a 14 month diploma program with start dates in August and September.
The purpose of the program is to develop knowledge and skills in maintenance
of both large and small aircraft, including fixed wing and helicopters, and
to provide Transport Canada approved training toward an Aircraft Maintenance
Engineer License.
A good portion of program hours will be devoted to the study of aircraft
maintenance theory. The balance will be spent on related projects or labs.
The program
includes practical activities that meet the requirements of the Canadian Aviation
Regulations. Graduates will receive a Transport Canada approved diploma from
Stevenson Aviation Aerospace Training Centre - Red River College, as well as
experience credit of one month for every 100 hours of training. Graduates will
have completed all the necessary exams with the exception of the Transport
Canada administered Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) exam.
Graduates will be required to work for the balance of the 7200 hour Transport
Canada requirement and write the Canadian Aviation Regulations exam. After
meeting Transport Canada's experience requirements, graduates will be eligible
for a Transport Canada "M" license.
