NFTE accreditation is an important endorsement of that investment and of the professional framework we have built across ITPS and ITTC.” The NFTE accreditation process assesses training providers against demanding criteria spanning aviation safety, training quality, governance and supervision, regulatory compliance, operational delivery, infrastructure, and duty of care. Accreditation provides customers with additional assurance that ITPS Canada’s training environments meet the standards expected for military aviation training within the NATO framework. ITPS provides specialist flight test and aerospace training for test pilots, flight test engineers and associated specialists. ITTC, based in North Bay, Ontario, provides advanced military flying and tactical training for fighter aircrew preparing for increasingly complex operational environments.

ITTC’s investment in advanced training capabilities, including the Leonardo M-346 Block 20 Advanced Jet Trainer, further builds Canada’s domestic training capacity while strengthening ITPS Canada’s ability to support the requirements of modern air forces. “This accreditation recognizes the professionalism, discipline and operational focus that define both ITPS and ITTC,” said Dave Lohse, CEO, ITPS Canada. “Our teams have worked diligently to build training environments that meet the highest international standards, with safety underpinning everything we do. We are proud to support NATO and Allied partners while contributing to the readiness and interoperability required for collective defence.” “CCC is pleased that ITPS has achieved NATO’s accreditation, a significant milestone that reflects the company’s world-class expertise, innovation, and commitment to excellence in pilot training. This recognition positions ITPS for continued growth with Canada’s allies and like-minded nations. We look forward to securing more government- to-government (G2G) contracts with ITPS to help expand the reach of their training around the world.” – Bobby Kwon, President and CEO of CCC. As NATO and Allied air forces face growing demand for highly qualified aircrew, ITPS Canada will continue investing in its aircraft fleets, synthetic training systems, instructional capability, facilities, and people. Through ITPS and ITTC, the organization is positioned to contribute additional training capacity across the Alliance and support the operational readiness of NATO and Allied air forces. ITPS Canada extends its appreciation to NATO Flight Training Europe and the Accreditation Team for their thorough evaluation and continued collaboration. – 30 – Media Contact Sheila Hodgson Director, Sales and Marketing [press@itpscanada.com](https://www.thailand-business-news.com/pr-news/press@itpscanada.com) To view the source version of this press release, please visit [https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/311371](https://api.newsfilecorp.com/redirect/OAJVrh3bjA) The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ![](//track.media-outreach.com/index.php/WebView/483247/36955) **Source** : [ITPS Canada Achieves NATO Flight Training Europe Accreditation](https://www.media-outreach.com/news/canada/2026/08/26/483247/?rand=186006) --- | This article was produced by Media OutReach, our trusted news partner.
