There is an agreement that was signed recently between ATC group and the Learning Academy.
I was a MOU stating that the Academy would deliver "X" amount of trainees per year, and in return ATC would provide "X" amount of instructors to allow the training to be delivered.
Both parties understand the importance of getting the numbers up and providing quality candidates; it benefits everyone.
Part of the reason there is a course going on in Brisbane at the moment is so Instructors can be sourced from Qld without having to transplant them to Melbourne.
So, the upshot is that there are more instructors joining the Academy to help out. Some are long term and some are short term secondments, but all in all the numbers are increasing to cope with the influx of trainees.
