VET In Schools (VCE) Flight Training

Accredited Diplomas For Commercial Flight Training in Melbourne

The Royal Victorian Aero Club is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), providing professional, accredited flight training at Diploma level. VCE students may be able to participate in the AVI50222 Diploma of Aviation (Commercial Pilots License – Aeroplane) through the Vocational Education and Training in Schools program.

If flying is simply in your blood and becoming a pilot is what you want to do in life, why wait to start learning? To learn to fly in VCE, you may wish to discuss this option with your schools careers and subject counsellor.

 

Study to Become a Pilot in VCE

Yes it’s possible! Why study a unit 3 or unit 4 subject you know that you’re not interested in? Some of us know that a career in aviation is what we want to do from an early age. So why not get your wings from one of the best flying schools in Melbourne! Our comprehensive courses cover everything from practical flight training to theory exams. And the best part is that whilst you’re learning to fly, this course may also attribute to your final ATAR score!

 

ASK US HOW

 

How Can My Studies Contribute to My ATAR Score?

Completion of the RPL (Recreational Pilots Licence) & PPL (Private Pilots Licence) units of study in the Aviation diploma may contribute to 2 of your unit 3 and 4 sequences towards the satisfactory completion of your Victorian Certificate of Education.

In addition to the Primary 4 VCE studies, it may also contribute to the ATAR in the form of at least one 10% increment (10% of the averaged scaled score).

Further information regarding this is available on the VCAA website:  Block credit recognition.

 

Why Choose to Study a Commercial Flight Training Course in VCE?

If you know that you want to be a pilot, why wait to finish your VCE before you start learning? You could start your exciting career as a pilot now, whilst completing VCE.

The VCE VET Commercial Flight Training program is drawn from a national training package. The training program offers portable qualifications that are recognised throughout Australia. These qualifications provide students with a broad range of knowledge and skills to pursue further training and a career in the aviation industry.

The best part is that our courses are both theory and hands-on flying. Learning to fly a plane whilst completing VCE will inspire you to achieve more.

Flexible training options

This course involves individual (face to face-one on one) training. As RVAC Flight Training is open 7 days a week, training can take place in or out of school hours.  The only classroom attendance requirement is for the two courses of theory (BAK – 36 hours – 6 x 6 hour sessions –/ PPL Theory – 48 hours – 8 x 6 hour sessions). The theory training is conducted during the end of first term school holidays.

To receive one Unit 3 / 4 sequence, each phase must be completed prior to the end of October of the school year.

Please note that flight training is weather dependent so it is not possible to provide a concise timetable, only a guideline.

*Note: (The credit into the VCE and ATAR contribution are both subject to the volume and level of training completed by the student and will be confirmed upon issuance of VCE results by the VCAA and calculation of the ATAR by VTAC).
