RQAC: Heres a computer, come play flight simulator, heres another computer, now pay me $3.5K and do you theory on that. Not to bad a fleet, a little expensive although once again, very focused on foreign studies and student (MCPL).
Things have changed in the last three years, very little CBT now. The guys that were using the computers for theory in the last 18 months were Fast Track, who in turn were using RQAC as their training provider.

95% of their students (RQ & AAA) are Australian. There is a bigger focus on the Aussie market rather than foreign students. They've got the approvals so there are some international students.

Although it is owned by RQAC, the Airline Academy of Australia has a different AOC and very different style of training from the aero club(focusing on full-time courses). Some people are getting the two confused.
