Griffith Aviation has been offering programs in aviation for almost two decades and we are recognised globally for our innovative approaches to education in this area. Our partnerships and links with the aviation industry continue to expand with the new opportunities that arise regularly, such as our unique cadet ship with Qantas, one of Australia's leading airlines.
Griffith Aviation teaching staff are recognised internationally as leaders in the aviation industry. As an aviation student you will be taught by experts and award winning lecturers with backgrounds in military and commercial aviation and with leading airlines. You will receive an education that is supported by research in complex skills assessment, aviation safety, and aviation education and training.
Graduates of Griffith Aviation programs will be ready for employment in the field of General aviation, with job opportunities that include charter work, flight instruction, and aerial services such as surveying, photography and agricultural spraying. Recent Griffith Aviation graduates have been employed in the Australian and Singapore defence forces, as well as in aviation organisations such as Qantas, United Airlines, Air Canada, Singapore Airlines, Royal Brunei, Thai Airways, Cathay Pacific, and Emirates. Students of the Bachelor of Aviation must hold a Commercial Pilot Licence in order to graduate.
In a first for Australian aviation, students are now able to access the FEE-HELP government loan scheme to defer the up front costs of flight training, and other program expenses.
