Course description:
In Australia we offer our international students a Diploma of Aviation (Commercial Pilot Licence – Aeroplane)
A commercial pilot license (CPL), is a type of pilot licence that permits the holder to act as a pilot of an aircraft and be paid for his/her work.
The basic requirements to obtain the license and the privileges it confers are agreed internationally by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). According to ICAO, to be eligible for a commercial pilot license, the applicant must;
be able to read, speak, write, and understand English
already hold a private pilot license
