Hello all,
So I've been looking to get into aircraft maintenance for some time now.
Since leaving school, I've completed my own pre-vocational course in my own time and with my own money.
What I cannot understand are the requirements for this round of QANTAS apprenticeships.

In particular the following:
LAUNCH YOUR CAREER WITH QANTAS AND YOU'RE OFF TO A FLYING START!
Brisbane Aircraft Trades (Avionics, Structures and Mechanical) are only open to applicants who have completed or are completing a prevocational course in Aero Skills with one of the following institutions:
- Aviation Australia (Brisbane/ Cairns);
- ATAE; or
- QLD Institute for Aviation Engineering.
Why such a select few RTOs?
Why should it matter at what RTO my training took place?
The training uses the same national competency based system from one place to another. Am I missing something?
Does anyone else think this is somewhat discriminatory?
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a sense of self-entitlement. Other people have worked just as hard as me to get where I am.
I am just trying to understand their reasons for this criteria.
