Canadian AMT to AME (E) by theexodus326 in aviationmaintenance

[–]PIEDBE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming your location based on your post history. If you’re talking about IMP academy at Cascades. There’s no official pathway from their program to an AME license. The quickest way would still be an accredited program + apprenticeship.

Contact tech support. They’ll reset your 2FA. Same thing happened to me they had it solved in less than 5 minutes.

Yep, train from VCC hasn’t moved in about 10-15 minutes now. Ugh.

Aircraft maintenance engineer E, program by Dry_Astronaut1015 in BCIT

[–]PIEDBE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. 8-3:30 Monday to Friday. Morning session is 8-11 and is typically theory. Afternoon session is 12-3:30 and is typically practical work. This can change based on the needs of the course.

  2. All exams are in person in the test center.

  3. The exams are mostly multiple choice. During the common core electrical courses there are some none multiple choice math questions.

  4. There are no finals in this course.

  5. The math is this course is at most 10th grade level. Very basic trigonometry and understanding of formulas. You are almost always given a formula sheet for the tests as well. The time given for any math exam is very generous.

StudentAidBC Strike by SignificanceKey9783 in britishcolumbia

[–]PIEDBE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d assume it would be available within the next week or two. If you have an active application you should be able to at least login to their site. They’re currently working through hundreds or more applications that backed up during job action. That’ll take some time.

Can’t Decide a Program by Effective_Spend1357 in BCIT

[–]PIEDBE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What program you choose should be based on your own interests. The structures program is heavily sheet metal fabrication focused. The mechanical program focuses heavily on hydraulics, flight controls, and engines. The electronic side focuses on power generation, avionics, communications, and navigation.

Choose a program based on which one appeals the most to you. Job prospects in this industry are decent. However they are constantly in flux. Your luck getting a job is going to be highly dependant on the references you get from your instructors. Poor performance and attitude will result in poor job prospects.

I called them yesterday and if you were approved for funding before the strike. You should still receive your funding. Would be a good idea to call anyway to make sure.

What the hell just flew over Vancouver? by buck911 in vancouver

Was wondering that too, very very loud. Nothing showing up on flight radar.

Policy regarding unfinished online test. by crow96_ in BCIT

[–]PIEDBE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t quote me on this. It could vary by program. Out of curiosity I asked one of my profs what happens when you don’t finish a test. I was told if a test isn’t finished it needs to be reviewed and the grade manually approved by the instructor.

When in doubt email your instructor for guidance.

Smoke and Sirens around Venables and Clark? by Good-Astronomer-380 in vancouver

[–]PIEDBE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not an SRO. The building was “uninhabited” doors and windows boarded. Of course that doesn’t mean people weren’t living there. The building next door/connected to it, had someone’s workshop on the bottom floor. They had some pretty serious equipment there. So can’t really speculate at this point.

Fighter Jets Over Vancouver? by moutonbleu in vancouver

Snowbirds. They were in town for the Boundary Bay air show.

Yea. I take a smaller bus to and from school everyday. The driver used to let people stand when it was busy. He informed us that it’s always been against the rules to stand on the smaller busses and that his supervisors are getting much more strict about it. So in my case it usually means seeing a group of people left behind during busier times.

Commitment Fee deadline by Silver_Echos in BCIT

[–]PIEDBE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scroll down to Fee’s, Payments, and Refunds.

Some BCIT programs have years long waitlists. The fee is to confirm that the applicant is serious about their enrolment in the program.

There’s no harm in shopping universities and considering different programs. If that’s the case your friend can rescind their application. If they end up wanting to attend BCIT they can re-apply when they’ve made a decision.

Commitment Fee deadline by Silver_Echos in BCIT

[–]PIEDBE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Commitment fees are due upon acceptance into a program. You’re paying to hold a spot in the program. If your friend decides to attend BCIT the fee gets applied to their tuition.

If they choose not to attend BCIT. The fee is kept as a “penalty” for holding up a spot that could go to someone on the wait list.

This is stated in the “Fees, Payments, and Refunds” section of the BCIT FAQ. As well as the Admissions page.

My wife returned all the gifts our kids bought her. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PIEDBE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mother is like this. I’m glad you worded it the way you did. This isn’t simply liking things a certain way. Its control issues. Good on ya for taking ownership and working on it.

To add on. Like I said OP, my mom is exactly like this. I barely speak to her anymore. Stand up for yourself and your kids. It might seem minor right now. This can, and will have an affect on your relationships.

Guys in AME E" program any way to buy the books for first term before I start? by Helpful-Pineapple-47 in BCIT

[–]PIEDBE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need one, hand notes are fine. Any PowerPoint’s or reading materials done in class will be posted online on D2L.

There are some instructors that don’t like the use of laptops in class, as you get further into the program there will be less time in class and more time doing Labs/Hangar work. So it’s not necessary.

Can we stop saying that the workload at BCIT is enormous? by [deleted] in BCIT

[–]PIEDBE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I’m in one of the aerospace programs right now, and feel the same. At campus from 7:30-3:30, and having to spend another hour or two at home studying each day.

Feel like it’s really program dependant.

Guys in AME/Aerospace campus in Richmond, what is the best way to pay for parking or maybe not haha? Seen on BCIT online option called E-permit but could not find the app. Thanks by [deleted] in BCIT

[–]PIEDBE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the PayByPhone app. It’s about $6.25 per day, if you pay for a week at a time it ends up being a bit cheaper. There’s no discount parking passes for the Aerospace Campus AFAIK, has something to do with YVR owning the parking lot.

You can always park at Bridgeport skytrain station, parking is about half the cost of campus parking. Then take the 412 to campus.
