 An exciting development has
taken place in the area of aviation training in Australia. The Academy for International
Aviation Careers (AIAC) commenced operations at Brisbane’s Archerfield airport on the 28th
February this year. The academy is offering the Diploma of Applied Science –
Aviation which is an eighteen-month program, which provides participants with all the
skills required, to pursue a successful career within the aviation industry. The
course is an integrated program of both theory and practical flying training which takes
students from initial flight training level to air transport pilot licence in the most
cost and time efficient manner.
On successful
completion of the course, students receive the Diploma of Applied Science (Aviation),
Commercial Pilots Licence, Command Instrument Rating and Theory Pass in Airline Transport
Pilots Licence. All qualifications are approved by the Australian Civil Aviation
Safety Authority and recognised by the International civil Aviation Organisation.
The Academy’s
flying campus is located at Archerfield Airport, only 15 minutes by car from the heart of
Queensland’s capital city, Brisbane. Archerfield has been one of the major centres
for general aviation in Queensland for over 60 years. This well equipped airport is an
ideal location for Aviation training.
The Australian produced Eagle 150 is the initial
flight training aircraft and features composite construction with a canard wing
configuration. Advanced aerodynamics make the Eagle easy to handle and extremely
stable in flight. Other aircraft including the Cessna 150, 172, 425 Conquest and the
Beechcraft BE76 Duchess are utilised throughout this program, as well as modern flight
simulators.
On completion of the
Diploma program, students may choose to continue their studies at university level with
the Queensland Universty of Technology(QUT). Completion of the Diploma program
provides credit equivalent to eight subjects into the Bachelor of Applied Science with
Aviation which is offered at QUT’s Gardens Point campus in Brisbane City.
While studying at the Academy for International Aviation
Careers, students receive guidance and support from dedicated staff with regard to both
study and personal matters. The Academy’s Program Coordinator is available to
students throughout their training, and will arrange support services in the areas of
arrival, orientation, passport and visa renewal, language support, subject assistance,
accommodation, social activities, newsletters, reports and graduation.
