Program Description: Wind Turbine Technicians perform maintenance, repair, diagnosis, and adjustments on wind turbine equipment. Students will gain introductory knowledge on resolving electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic malfunctions in the various systems of a wind turbine. Students will also learn the required safety standards for working on-site with an emphasis on fall protection, at-height rescue, first aid, and electrical safety. They will learn procedures involving record keeping, creating reports, and submitting documentation pertinent to the job. Testing systems, component repair, and troubleshooting equipment are core requirements to the student’s hands-on competencies where they will utilize hand and power tools to perform simulated turbine work.
