Home / About Us
In 1937, aviation pioneer Captain W. J. Guy and European educator and industrialist Simon F. Flegg combined
their talents and expertise to establish a trade school named the Aviron Technical Institute of Montreal.
The timing could not have been better, as the entire country was preparing for war. Within months, Aviron
was contributing to the war effort by training workers for the aviation industry. There were courses in
sheet metal transformation, assembly, design, welding and many other subjects. Aviron graduates were in high
demand by companies looking for well-trained, skilled workers, and they paved the way for Aviron as it
evolved to keep pace with industries’ requirements.
While Aviron began as a leading provider of aviation mechanics, students today can craft their educational
pathway so that when they graduate, they can confidently pursue careers in electricity, auto mechanics,
industrial drafting, and welding.
Aviron Technical Institute of Montreal maintains its landmark status and is considered a reputable trade
school. It offers a variety of loan and bursary programs, is licensed by Quebec’s Ministère de l’Éducation,
du Loisir et du Sport, and employs industry experts as instructors. It can accommodate more than 600
students, providing them with the education they need to pursue their careers.
At Aviron Technical Institute, we believe it is important to provide our students with the means and the
tools they need to realize their dreams.
Our students are our top priority. We are committed to giving them the guidance and preparation they need to
help them pursue their careers and to supporting them every step of the way through their studies.
