Why Train at the RVAC

Why train at the Royal Victorian Aero Club - This is an important question that needs answering.

The answer to this is easy - Experience.

The Royal Victorian Aero Club has been training pilots for close to 100 years. We have provided pilots to some of the most prestigous airlines throughout the worlds. Our former students are flying with Emirates, Cathay Pacific, Brittish Airways, Qantas, Virgin, Jet, Indigo and this list goes on.

Our Instructional team has a cumulative experience of in excess of 40,000 flying hours.

One of the other key reason for training with the Royal Victorian Aero Club is the fact that we are a Club. We are a not for profit organization. Any profits the club makes goes back into the club benefiting its students and members. We do this by improving the facilities, purchasing new aircraft and upgrading the existing fleet.

The Royal Victorian Aero Club is a Registered Training Organization (RTO no 22465)

In Australia a Registered Training Organisation is an alternative to University for post Secondary School studies. Registered Training Organisations offer courses which emphasize job related skills and specific career pathways. A Registered Training Organisation is licensed to provide authorized vocational courses. As a Registered Training Organization Royal Victorian Aero Club offers two vocational courses in Aviation: - Certificate IV in Aviation (Commercial Pilot license) and Diploma in Aviation (Command Instrument Rating).

It is advantageous and highly recommended for students determined to pursue a career in aviation to choose to complete their training with a Registered Training Organisation. A Registered Training Organization is authorized by the Government and must pass and maintain stringent procedures to gain registration. Each Registered Training Organization must ensure they have the appropriate infrastructure and professional trainers for students to achieve satisfactory progress.
