- 2019 will have two intakes, one in January and the other in July.
- There will be no advanced program stream in 2019.
- A cost breakdown of the course is now available and is as follows:
AVI50215 Diploma of Aviation (Commercial Pilot License) - $74,990
AVI50415 Diploma of Aviation (Instrument Rating) - $27,840
AVI60216 Advanced Diploma of Aviation (Pilot in Command) $16,714
UPRT – $1,760
Uniform - $832
54 weeks full board accommodation - $24,316.74
Though, the FTA program allows a successful cadet to access Vet Student Loans (VSL) to fund the program. VSL can fund up to $76,125 per qualification i.e. CPL. MECIR, ATPL & MCC, but it should be noted that in 2018 an individual can only access a maximum of $102,392.
