Stay well away

The only reason this place takes domestics is to get the 3K enrollment fee from them. If you are an overseas student but self funding (not an airline cadet), you get hit with a 15k enrollment fee just to start the course!

Historically, only about 25% of the domestic students actually get a CPL. Only one or two of the 25% get them within the 12 month time frame.The classes are generally around 25 people for the start of year course and you will have about 5 students per instructor.

All sorts of excuses come from the mouths of RMIT management as to why the success rate is so poor. These rate from "all the domestics are lazy and we would rather put our time into the cadets as they work harder", to "Domestic students never turn up on time for fllights". When the shoe is on the other foot the party line form RMIT is that it's "beyond our control" ie no instructors, planes etc.

Thats my view anyway.
