I find these numbers rather disturbing...
Those numbers are totally misleading.
The lawyer is making out the school has only had 5 graduates, which is totally false. Over 65 CPL graduates have completed the Box Hill diploma and passed CPL flight tests.

A big portion of the 200+ registered by Gordon have only studied at Soar/Box Hill for less than 2 years - which means they would never have completed the course at this point anyway. Plenty more graduates at both campuses are very close to completing their CPL.

Soar/BHI’s biggest mistake is signing up people who never had the aptitude or attitude to study their way their way to a CPL - thinking they can rock up to 2 x 3 hour classes each week, and be presented with a CPL at the end of the 2 years regardless of their effort.
