In 2018, more than $11m in loans was paid for 402 enrolments, but only six students graduated.
Graduated what exactly? Did they obtain a CPL? Or did they just receive the Diploma, they are two VERY different things in FEE-HELP land.

BUT..........have a think about those figures. Even if those 6 got the CPL AND the Diploma, it is an appalling 'success' rate.

I'll pause this post so you can have a think about the above, while you're thinking about it, where did the 11 mill go???....................

A statement from Soar Aviation said its board “strongly refuted the findings of ASQA and the decision to revoke Box Hill Institute’s approval to provide third party practical training in conjunction with Soar Aviation.
We strenuously object............do you? So?

“Many of ASQA’s conclusions are based on errors of fact and Soar Aviation is considering the appropriate avenues to maintain its registration,” the statement said.
Well, it'll all be published soon, won't that be a hoot.

“Soar Aviation and Box Hill Institute recently reviewed all procedures that are performed under Commercial Pilot Licence aviation training to ensure they comply with all relevant Civil Aviation legislation.”
And both of you didn't and don't. Let's see the reports, let's see who these reports will be referred to ;-)

The statement went to say 70 people had obtainted their Diploma of Aviation under the Box Hill program.
- Out of how many enrolments?? Go on, give us the figures??

- 70 Diplomas DOES NOT MEAN 70 CPL's, It's important to note that these Aviation FEE-HELP courses can be structured so that you can obtain a Diploma and not receive a CPL. Out of those 70 Diplomas, how many CPL's have been issued??

- How many of your graduated students are now working in the industry? (Minus the ex-students that you yourself have employed).

- What is the total amount of FEE-HELP received by your organisation?

- How many students have been FEE-HELP funded?

Then we can compare the Diploma, CPL & Industry placed pilots.

Free iPad anyone? Ironic isn't it? An iPad would make the most sense for a course like this.
