Attended the AEA meeting in Brisbane recently and there was some hot debate about training schools . It seems even if you have done a Cert IV in Aeroskills at two popular QLD based TAFE's they don't have licencing outcomes. In addition you cant transfer to Avaition Australia as CASA wont recognise the Cert IV.
Further more its out of the 4 places you can get Part 147 approved training the Sydney one is closing its doors and the Perth one has its lost funding .
Hopefully this isn't all true. Haven't met any GA engineers actually licenced through the new scheme..... Maybe I don't get out enough
