FLIGHT
TRAINING
Training pilots
from overseas is a specialty of Melbourne Flight Training. We
are approved by the Australian Government for the training of
overseas students. Our Instructors have trained students from
Bhutan, China, England, Fiji, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy,
Japan, Macau, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Thailand,
Turkey and the U.A.E.
We understand that
overseas students face additional challenges to their Australian
counterparts. With prior arrangement we can meet all overseas
students at Tullamarine Airport on arrival, settle them into
clean, modern accommodation and be available to assist them
both during and outside of their school hours.
Chances are that we will have trained a pilot from your home
country. We will be pleased to provide our past students contact
details. You are invited to contact them for an account of their
experience with the staff at Melbourne Flight Training.
We will work closely
with your home countries relevant Aviation Authority to ensure
that all training conducted in Australia will be compatible
with the requirements of your home country.
Overseas students enrolled at Melbourne Flight Training pay
the same rate for the aircraft as local Australian students.
There are many
reasons that Australia has become one of the best countries
for professional Flight Training such as:
• Australia's education and training standards are equal
to the highest in the world.
• Australian pilot qualifications are internationally
recognised and highly regarded.
• Overseas students on a Working Visa are able to work
up to 20 hours a week.
• Visas are easier to obtain for Australia than the
USA, Canada or the UK.
• Australia is one of the lowest cost countries for
aviation training.
• Australia has a friendly multicultural society that
welcomes overseas students.
• The general cost of living is lower in Australia than
the USA, Canada or the UK.
• Australia offers political and social stability in
a safe democratic society.
• English is the language of Australia and the international
aviation industry.
• Australia is the world leader in aviation safety.
• Excellent weather conditions for all types of pilot
training.
• Advanced airways systems that prepare you for an airline
career.
• Uncongested airspace allows you to maximise your flying
time.
• Multicultural society, allowing you to feel at ease.
Melbourne Flight Training does not stipulate a formal education
requirement. Experience has shown that if a student has completed
High School English then they should be able to cope with the
Private Pilot Licence courses. The staff at Melbourne Flight Training
have many years experience training overseas students, and you
will find them very helpful and understanding.
Melbourne Flight Training requires that students undertaking
career based courses have a minimum English language score of
5.5 IELTS or 530 TOEFL. This English language testing will be
a prerequisite for all courses other than the Private Pilot Licence
course. This testing may be undertaken in your country of origin
prior to arrival.
