RMIT Dip of Airline Transport
HI,
Has anyone or knows someone who has gone through the Dip of Airline Transport training the is offered by RMIT in melb? If so, are you able to explain to how the training is conducted and would you recommended it. Another thing is can anyone recommend any flying schools in Melbourne? Im planning on becoming a commmercial pilot however have not started any training yet. Thanks alot for your time. |
To anyone want to do flight training:
RMIT flight training is hopeless even I finished and in Sydney I still heard that feb 2007 class only 2 people finished out of 24 and mid year 2007 guys has no class everyday they don’t really care about student all. |
Yer thought so your not the only person that has said that to me. I just wanted to double check if RMIT did not have a good erp regarding that specific course.
Beside a cadetship, which flygin school would you recommened in melbourne? Thanks! |
Hi, can't comment on the RMIT diploma as I didn't enrol for that, however I started their flight training at Point Cook and left very quickly as it was a disgrace. It is merely GFS paying for the RMIT name. Keep well away from them. They want your money and will fly you in any conditions. I moved to a small country school and never looked back. I don't know any schools I can suggest in town however I am sure you will get other respondents who can.
Good Luck! |
RMIT
HI All
I have recently just got my PPL and looking to do my Commercial at RMIT Point Cook next year. Does anyone have any recent views and opions about them? Thanks |
Why train with RMIT who has no AOC!
RMIT has no aeroplanes, doesn't have an AOC, and doesn't deliver any flying training.
If you just want to do some CPL flying training simply canvass the local flying schools at EN or MB! That is where you will end up flying anyway. The RMIT diploma is simply a way charging more; i.e. of filtering funds to a flying school and keeping some for " administration" |
After having done my initial training at RMIT flight Training.
My advice. STAY WELL THE **** AWAY.. Unless your have lots of money to burn.!! I would highly recommend Melbourne Flight Training at Moorabbin airport where I finished. And If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be working in the Industry. Anyway back to why you shouldn't choose RMIT. RMIT as i've discussed with other past students, is that they are purely a business.. NOT really flying school.. They just want your money and they have a few sneaky ways in taking it. When most people who start flying (especially if your dad or mum aren't pilots) most are pretty naive, and don't really know what the industry is really like. Ways RMIT take your money:
So if your a rich sugardaddy then go for it.. Otherwise go elsewhere! PS. RMIT also don't really give a rats arse about your progress, the company just want your money and the instructors just want hours.. (All of them pretty much just want to build time for the airlines) Don't fall into the hype of 'RMIT' its just a name.. Its all it is.. Who cares if its affiliated with a university? What matters is the end result. That CPL MECIR and FIR Now after I have bitched about RMIT, I feel as if I owe Melbourne Flight Training something.. So Here I will do the opposite of 'bitching' lol After having been unhappy with RMIT for a long period of time I finally made the switch to another flying school. (Only continued to go there because I lived 10 mins down the road) Anyway, I'd describe MFT as more of a flying school, their instructors are predominately highly experienced grade1's... Most of those grade ones actually want to be flight instructors in GA... BONUS!!!! Average experience level between all instructors I would guess 3500-4000 hours.. (RMIT <800) Most of their instructors there also have a lot of flying experience outside of instructing, Charter RPT, etc.. At MFT you and your progress will be taken care of, and you will make a lot of new pilot friends, some of which may even help you when it comes to getting your first job, as the place has a very social atmosphere especially with their Friday Night BBQ and beers. MFT will not only help you get that licence, But when you finish, They will even hook you up with a job.. Glen the CFI is very well connected in the industry and always has friends and past students looking for pilots..!!.. He also pretty much takes on all instructor trainees who train there, to give them a foot in the door, (Like what happened to me) :o) |
Thank You DLX

There are people just bounced out of this "Flight School" that wish they had seen this before.
They are scum. They have just used an entire intake of students to pay for a new fleet of aircraft and then told most of them they will never be pilots, forcing them out. A good charge was $750 for a half day first aid course. Everyone who already had a valid first aid certificate already was told it is worthless for Aviation. It was a bog standard level 2 first aid course, that anywhere else would cost max $100. At least one student who was already at PPL level when he started and was the best in the class was forced out and told he would never be a pilot. He is now that distraught and stressed by it all that he will now no longer be a pilot and has gone into a different field altogether. Now while i understand that its never been an easy profession to get into (And it shouldnt) not everyone that goes into this has money to burn and are trying to follow a dream. Some people fight hard and do what they can only to have the goals shifted on them constantly and then eventually have the rug snatched out from underneath them entirely. |
I noticed that still a lot of people looking for flight schools...well..it seems to me that you are looking to jump always in a big sh:mad: endless!! Look like you wanna someone steal your money!!
Guys why you want to use the pprune search and just look old topics about flight schools...there are many in USA and even JAR approved !! Why to go to fly in Australia?..You are looking for vacation or flight course:hmm::hmm:??? That's my consideration. |
