Academic progression
All TAFE Queensland students have a responsibility to meet the requirements for academic progression and completion for their program of study. You can review our procedure, including your responsibilities, here.
For students studying aviation courses, academic progression can be characterised by maintaining satisfactory progress in the following areas:
- Timely submission of Class 1 medical;
- Prompt application for an Aviation Security Identification Card;
- Consistent ground school attendance;
- Efficient successful completion of CASA theory exams;
- Regular participation in flight school with associated increase in skill level.
As a TAFE Queensland aviation student, you can expect to be provided timely and constructive feedback throughout your studies regarding your academic progress.
Aviation courses require students to successfully pass theory and practical competencies to meet industry standards. Failure to successfully progress through your aviation studies in a satisfactory manner may result in the cancellation of your enrolment, or the requirement to privately fund additional flight hours not covered in your course fees or by VET Student Loan. The additional flight hours may cost up to $1200 per hour, depending on aircraft type.
Cancellation of your enrolment by TAFE Queensland for failure to progress in a satisfactory manner does not entitle you to a refund of fees incurred prior to the cancellation date.
