Instrcuting Oz vs NZ

What's it like instructing in Oz as Junior grade 3

Is getting instructor rating in OZ is better option than NZ? in terms of building first 100 hrs and getting out of grade 3... ( 1year +@ in NZ to be B-cat I think) I heard shortage of instructors in Oz but isnt that only for ME grade 2 instructors?

Any recommended flight school for FIC in Oz thats likely to offer job(if u did well during the course) and help u to build the first 100 hrs?

hey there to become a senior grade three it depends on ur hours when u start but with scratch it might only take 2 months but depends on ur company. I started over here in january and i had 65 hours and it took three weeks to become a senior 3, there is definatly a shortage of instructors over here

Took me 3 months to get 120 hours instructing at a largish flying school in the North of the Sth Island. Once you're out of supervision you're a lot more useful. Aussie instructor min's are pretty much the same as in NZ, ie 100 hrs to get out of supervision for Grade 3, 250 hrs for a Grade 2 but 750 hrs for a Grade 1 which equals an A-Cat. Look's to be a fairer sytem to NZ.

Good luck.

CPL or ATPL --> Junior Gr.3

Min 6 months as Gr.3

At 400 hrs instructing can be approved to do flight reviews.
Gr.2 --> Gr.1

750 hrs instructing, 500 from the PPL/CPL syllabus.
One year as Gr.2.
Pass a theory of learning exam.

Can teach instructor trainees
Automatically gets Instrument Rating training approval (must hold a CIR)
At 1200 hrs can be CFI of an instructor school
At 2000 hrs total (not necessarily all instructing) can be CFI of an instrument school.

Any instructor --> Multi-instructor:

Disclaimer: Been quite a few years since I was involved with Oz training so my info could well have errors.
