The AVI50222 Diploma of Aviation – Commercial Pilot Licence is a full-time intensive course designed to get your career started in the shortest time possible. A part-time course is also available,

The Diploma qualification, together with the CASA Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), provide you with the qualifications, skills, knowledge and experience to operate as a commercial pilot and to seek initial employment in various roles [1].

A CPL is the initial benchmark licence for working in the aviation industry as a pilot. Commercial pilots may fly for hire or reward and are authorised to act as pilot in command for aircraft only requiring one pilot, or as co-pilot for aircraft requiring two pilots.

The course is a blend of theoretical, practical and self-guided learning, together with assessment. The timetable is carefully designed to assist students to progress through the learning and assessment requirements in an achievable and meaningful way.

A typical week of study generally involves:

  • attending theory classes
  • participating in flight training in aircraft and simulators (including some flying on weekends and at night)
  • attending pre and post-flight briefings
  • undertaking guided self-study and assessment preparation.

The course is primarily in-person (face-to-face) learning with interactive classroom work and individual time with an instructor. Much of the course content is also available online and in printed study guides to support student self-study.

Our instructors take the time to understand the individual learning needs of students and assist with individualised instruction, support and flexibility to meet their learning needs and personal circumstances.

Domestic students: Overseas students:

The next intakes for the full-time course are listed below. You can apply for an intake at any time up to 28 days before the start date, but we recommend you apply as early as possible. There are limitations on how many students we accept per intake.

To apply for this course you must:

  • be at least 18 years of age by the date you intend to complete the course; and
  • have the academic ability to undertake the course, evidenced by ONE OF the following:
    • a Year 12 / senior-secondary school certificate;
    • OR an Australian Qualifications Framework Certificate IV or higher qualification (where the language of instruction is English);
    • OR you are prepared to demonstrate your competence in both reading and numeracy through an approved Language, Literacy and Numeracy test which we provide for you*
  • have a valid Unique Student Identifier issued by the Australian Government.

If your application has been accepted, we will ask you to participate in a number of entry selection activities at nominated dates and times. We use information from these activities to assess your suitability for the course. This stage involves approximately up to 4 hours of your time and the activities are often scheduled over a period of weeks. This stage must be completed as early as possible before the start date for your selected course-intake.

*This stage may include a Language, Literacy and Numeracy test if you require this test to meet the academic entry requirement (see ‘Application requirements’ above for guidance).

If you successfully proceed though pre-enrolment entry selection, we will send you a Letter of Offer and a Student Agreement, which includes your conditions of enrolment. You can become fully enrolled and commence this course once all of these conditions have been met. The standard conditions of enrolment are that you:

As a Registered Training Organisation we can assess students for RPL and for recognition and credit transfer of units from other nationally recognised training. RPL can be used to gain credit for parts of the AVI50219 qualification and/or units within the qualification. This may provide a reduction in course load/duration and course fees.

An application and assessment process must be followed and fees apply – see the Student Handbook.

You can indicate your intention to apply for credit and recognition for this qualification when you apply for the course.

Defined entry points

Applicants who have previously attained a relevant CASA licence, and are current with that licence, can apply for credit and recognition at the following defined entry points. We provide a streamlined process for:

  • CASA Recreational Pilot Licence
  • CASA Private Pilot Licence
  • CASA Commercial Pilot Licence

Credit for CASA commercial pilot exams

This course is both a VET Diploma and the CASA Integrated CPL Course. ‘Integrated’ means the theory and practical flying are integrated and sequenced together into a 150 hour flying program. Without this integration it is not feasible to complete the requirements of the integrated course. For this reason we do not recommend students study CPL theory and/or take CPL exams before commencing this course. We are open to recognising completion of some CPL exams via RPL, but we are less inclined to recognise prior attainment where most/all CPL exams have been completed outside of an integrated CPL course.

The following pathways are available with us following completion of the Diploma:

1 Licences, ratings and endorsements are issued separately to this Diploma by CASA. They are nationally (and internationally) recognised under Australian aviation legislation and regulations. CASA licences, ratings and endorsements are not branded or issued as ‘nationally recognised qualifications’ under the Vocational Education and Training system.

2 Attainment of the Diploma and issuance of CASA licences/ratings/endorsements (as applicable) ensure you have the necessary competencies to seek employment as a commercial pilot. Your employment is not guaranteed.

3 Fees are based on average requirements for attainment. Fees are the minimum to attain the qualification and cannot be reduced, refunded or transferred in any way at the completion of the course. Where a student requires additional flying time, or more that one attempt at theory or flight tests to achieve the required standard, additional fees will apply.

4 Fees are valid for the stated intake only. Fees for future years displayed on this page and in our applications system are provisional and subject to change.

5. VET Student Loans are available to approved domestic students who meet eligibility requirements. Approved provider: Airlines of Tasmania Pty Ltd, trading as Par Avion Flight Training, RTO 40601.

6. Provision of this course and each intake are subject to our cancellation policy

7. This course is provided under the auspices of the VET Quality Framework. Enrolled students are entitled to use our complaints procedure.
