Hi all, could anyone shed some light on courses to complete VCE or 11 and 12 subjects required that is recognised by the airlines in Australia?

I have only completed year 10 back in the day and its been 20 years since I left...:ugh:

Tried a search but couldn't find anything on it here, and don't know where to start.

Looking for an online preferably or part time evening course at a uni.

Thanks in advance! :ok:

There is no "equivalent" to Yr 12. You can do courses that are equivalent to certain subjects at Yr 12 level.

Distance Education Centre Victoria can enrol you to do Yr 12 by distance as long as you can prove that you don't have "time" to attend formal day classes.

I did my VCE with them at the ripe old age of 32.

Contact airlines as QF did have approved courses for maths etc in the past but unsure of their current requirements

Not all employers require Year 12. I never did it (many years ago) and they told me at an interview about 10 years ago it was irreverent, more interested in my flying history which is more important than what I got in an English exam 30 years back. Never had an issue in 40 years of flying from charters, regionals to the Airbus.
