The second article mentions the following:
"A SYDNEY flying school was using unqualified trainers to teach large numbers of Indian students in a "critical" breach of standards, the State Government's education watchdog says."
"...the use of trainers who do not have the qualifications required by the Australian Quality Training Framework was considered to be a critical non-compliance that required action."
What sort of qualifications are they referring to? I don't think any organization would be stupid enough to hire instructors without the appropriate licences and ratings.
I'm guessing the article is instead referring to some other specific training required by employees of registered training organizations (RTOs). I remember vaguely, that during my training, all the instructors in my school underwent a week long cert. iv course. I seem to remember that none of them enjoyed it very much!
I'd be interested in specifics anyone can provide. Cheers!
