Gold Coast, June 2nd, 2016: Airways Aviation is launching a CASA Commercial Pilot Licence with a Bachelor’s degree in Business, in collaboration with Southern Cross University (SCU), Australia, in a push to expand its high-quality education to future pilots.
The programme offers students a Bachelor of Business majoring in Aviation Management from SCU, alongside the CASA certified Airways Aviation Certificate IV in Aviation (Aeroplane) and Diploma of Aviation (Instrument Flight Operations).
At SCU students will learn critical reasoning, communication and the professional skills needed to succeed in any business environment, with specialised skills in aviation management. With Airways Aviation, students will have the chance to achieve three pilot licence types as their skill level increases; from a Recreational Pilot Licence, through to a Private Pilot Licence, and finally a Commercial Pilot Licence. The Diploma of Aviation offers advanced flight training conducted on a multi-engine class aircraft.
Students on the programme will have access to world-class facilities including a Boeing 737 simulator at Airways Aviation’s Gold Coast training base, as well as instruction from the country’s finest trainers and lecturers.
Airways Aviation CEO Ian Cooper, says:
“We pride ourselves on producing fully industry-ready pilots and this course, supported by the first-class facilities at our Gold Coast base and access to the excellent teaching staff at SCU, demonstrates our dedication to the industry. With our unrivalled access to small, uncontrolled airports and international airports, students will have the best of both worlds as they embark on a career in aviation.”
