Queensland flight training academy Airways Aviation is offering one pilot in Australia a scholarship for CPL training valued at $35,000.
The scholarship is for training toward the AVI 50215 Diploma of Aviation (Commercial Pilot Licence – Aeroplane) offered at Airways' school on the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast.
“We fully understand that for many, financial constraints can make it difficult to follow a career as a pilot and are therefore delighted to be offering this opportunity in Australia," said Leo O’Reilly, General Manager, Airways Aviation Australia.
“We encourage all interested applicants to attend one of our Open Days, taking place at both our Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast Academies on 23 September and 7 October respectively. There they will be able to meet our world-class course instructors and get a taste of what it would be like to learn to how to fly in the most idyllic locations available.”
Following the initial online application, candidates who meet the preliminary selection criteria will go on to the Gold Coast Academy or Brisbane Crew Assessment Centre to take a COMPASS aptitude test. The top-scoring candidates will be invited to continue on to a presentation and panel interview in Brisbane as the final stage.
Applications for the scholarship close on 31 October 2017.
