Ok guys so I just contacted Senator Birmingham and got the following reply:
"The list of courses eligible for support through VET Student Loans will be available in the near future, but we recognise that some courses, such as aviation, may need exemptions from our three cap levels as they have very high costs."
While its only a 'may' right now it's nice for a member of parliament to at least acknowledge that the aviation industry exists considering its bungling of CASA.
What I would like to see is tighter control on costs, right now Bunbury flying school and RVAC both offer VET-FEE-HELP courses for 0-150 hours for around the 60k mark, about what you would pay if you were funding your training on your own, yet some place scamming people of 90k plus. Then the UNI's charging 100k plus.
