But this basically means that if you’ve done year 12 and you are 29 years of age, then you are not eligible to apply, unless you’ve been to university or have obtained a PPL within the last 10 years.
They used to (and I guess still do) consider recent tertiary or other study qualifications important, demonstrating that an applicant currently has the skills, ability, commitment and motivation to study hard and pass the exams (of which there are many ... we had at least one and often two per week).
I assume at some stage in the distant past they found that anyone who hasn't done any study with qualifications for some time is likely to find the transition difficult, given the course is full on.
