Diploma of Technology (Aviation)
VTAe code: 77031
The Diploma of Technology (Aviation), incorporating the Certificate IV of
Technology (Aviation). was created to provide an opportunity for students to gain a
qualification which would enhance their selection prospects for entry into
commercial aviation.
The course extends the standard Commercial Pilot License training to give the
student a better appreciation of his/her machine and a technical understanding of
procedures and manoeuvres. In addition, recognising the needs of both the
organisation and the customer, the student is made industry-aware by more
general studies of the working environment Of the academic subjects, which are
conducted at the Hawthorn campus, approximately fifty per cent are technical.
The overall objective of the course is to prepare students with the knowledge and
skills required for instant entry to the industry as either light charter pilots or
flying instructors, where they may ther. accrue the further flying experience
necessary for entry into the larger airlines.
Campus
Hawthorn; External Venue
Career opportunities
Professional careers in General Aviation as aeroplane pilots (particularly those
with aspirations for a career with regional airlines, perhaps leading to major
airlines).
The course would give an appropriate basis upon which to build non-flying
careers, such as Air Traffic Control, Flight and Ground Operations, Management of
Airports and Facilities, etc.
Course duration
One and a half years full-time.
Structure
The course is made up of three components, running in parallel:
Flying and Simulator Training
Industry Based Theory
Academic Theory (at Hawthorn)
The standard Commercial Pilot License training is complemented through an
academic component, with the aim of giving the student.a basic technical
understanding of operational procedures, the machine, and manoeuvres. In
addition, recognising the needs of both the organisation and the customer, the
student is made industry-aware by more general studies of the working
environment
The flying training component of the course will be provided by a nationally
accredited provider. In addition, Swinburne University of Technology, will provide
all statutory training for qualification, as well as the preferred options required for
employment. as either light charter pilots or flying instructors. When so employed
they may then accrue the further flying experience necessary for entry into the
larger airlines. The course will give students an accredited award which will also
recognise their potential for further undergraduate studies in aviation if so
desired.
