Can someone give more details about the trades training structure and duration? Any insights would be appreciated. Thank you!

Initially, Aerospace Engineering Officers attend an Orientation Course, which introduces them to the aircraft operations branch, the occupation and the fundamentals of safety when working around aircraft. Following this, they attend two practical phases that usually take place in the summer ranging from eight to 11 weeks in duration. Upon graduation, Aerospace Engineering Officers attend an eight-month basic course conducted in English or French at the Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Technology and Engineering in Borden, Ontario.
