~055 Bachelor of Technology (Aviation)
VTAC Course Code-34516
This three year full-time degree course prepares students for
careers in the aviation industry as either professional pilots or
in other professional capacities. Skill training and education
processes are weighted equally in this course where there is
need to provide a high level of both flying prowess and the
ability to solve problems through the application of methodical
and rational thinking.
The course incorporates the theory subjects required by the
Australian Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) up to Airline
Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) standard.
Students who successfully complete this course are awarded
the Degree of Bachelor of Technology (Aviation) and those
who undertake the flying hours necessary will also gain a
Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL).
The objectives of this course are to provide professional,
tertiary training for the aviation industry in general, and for
pilots in particular. During the three year duration of the
course, adequate time and facilities are provided to enable
students to undertake the flying training necessary to reach
commercial pilot standard. Additional flying training to suit
particular needs, such as instructor, instrument or agricultural
ratings is also available.
Strong emphasis will be placed on engineering aspects of
aviation and flying, and a strong sense of practical problem
solving will be engendered in students. Various motivational
subjects will be included to maintain a high level of dedication
in students.
