Flight Training & Aviation

RMIT’s Flight Training School has added 24 new aircrafts to its fleet, and this top of the range fleet allows students to use and be trained with the latest aircrafts while they study.  RMIT offers two courses that lead to a qualification as a pilot.  

Conducted on both the City campus and at the RMIT Flight Training School at Point Cook Airfield, this degree gives students a broad, coherent and detailed body of knowledge and theory related to the global aviation industry, preparing them for a successful career in the skies.  Students build the skills necessary to critically review and analyse all aspects of the aviation industry and learn how to work both individually and in teams to solve real industry issues.  Students graduate with a vast array of tools and knowledge to communicate to a diverse range of stakeholders and manage industry-specific projects.

In addition to extensive theory work, this degree includes flight training.  This training will assist students to gain a Recreational (RPL), Private (PPL), and Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), which enables them to fly commercially within Australia.

  • Associate Degree in Aviation (Professional Pilots) – a 2-year associate degree where students develop the necessary skills and knowledge to apply for a recreational pilot licence (RPL), a private pilot licence (PPL) and gain the aeronautical knowledge, practical skills and appropriate behaviours required to achieve the CASA certification as a Commercial Pilot.  In the final semester students have a choice between instrument rating (IREX) with a frozen Air Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) or Instructor Rating (FIR).  
    Graduates of this course have a guaranteed pathway to the Bachelor of Aviation (Pilot Training).  

RMIT Flight training has also released a video for students considering studying at either the Point Cook or Bendigo training sites.  The video details the course structures for both the Associate Degree in Aviation (Professional Pilots) and the Bachelor of Applied Science (Aviation) programs.
