Most wind turbine technicians attend technical schools and earn certificates in wind energy technology. Another path is to earn an associate degree through a community college to earn a degree.
Students receive more than 12 months of on-the-job-training in addition to coursework. Part of this may be an internship with a wind turbine servicing contractor. Apprenticeships are a less common pathway, but they are offered by unions and contractors.
