Course Notes

Applies to all Student Groups

  • The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) requires a medical assessment and minimum age for pilot licences. Private Pilot Licence (minimum age of 17 years), Commercial Pilot Licence (minimum age of 18 years). CASA require English language proficiency to ICAO levels 4,5 or 6 . Command Instrument rating and CASA passes in the Australian Transport Pilot's Licence (ATPL) are also required. Applicants are advised to attend an information session and will be contacted by the campus with details. Security and Airworthiness are sensitive issues and therefore the student will be subject to Federal Laws – Please checkout www.CASA.gov.au

Expected Employment Outcome Example

The Advanced Diploma provides students with the skills and knowledge required for the air transport industry in addition to studies in general aviation. Emphasis is placed on the development of skills and knowledge required by an airline pilot to enable graduates to act in support of professional staff. It should be noted that airline entry normally comes after several years experience of working in general aviation. The Certificate II provides students with a vocational introduction into the aviation industry and provides them with productive skills and knowledge in the area of aircraft mechanics.

Note: Completion of a TAFE SA course does not guarantee an employment outcome. Formal requirements other than educational qualifications (eg licensing, professional registration), may apply to some occupations.
