      hulyoTV hi I want to become a pilot in Aus to. I have no idea what to do lol. Can you please tell me stuff, like what ATAR you need to get, if you should go to flight school or go to uni and get an aviation degrees. Thanks

      Bailey Madigan hey mate there are so many ways to become a pilot here. you could even start with a flight school now to study hard and get your wings. from there, you’d be able to start building your hours. i decided to go with the uni of south australia because of the opportunities they offer and the graduate satisfaction. look up the program syllabus that’s up on the UniSA website for aviation. it’ll say what ATAR you need, as well as the different pathways of getting into the uni. i’m sure if you’re passionate enough, you should be able smash it 😉

      Troll Acc hey awesome! UNSW was my first choice because it’s ranked as the top uni in the country to study aviation. followed by UniSA which is the uni that gave me an offer. it’s best to have a back up uni in case your first choice doesn’t give you an offer. i’d suggest submitting an application to at least 2-3 unis. when you decide to study aviation, be ready to move in to a different state (if you’re taking the uni pathway to becoming a pilot) because unis offering both the bachelor of aviation and flight training are spread out across the country in different states. for reference, i submitted applications to UNSW, UniSA and Swinburne University of Technology. they are the unis that offer both- the bachelor of aviation and flight training. unlike in other unis where you’d need to have prior flying knowledge and no flight training involved. keep in mind also, prior to commencing flight training, you’ll go through interviews, health checks and aptitude test to ensure you’re in good health and right motivation to commence aviation study. qantas has a graduate program and since you’re taking the uni pathway, you should receive support from the industry such as pilots visiting your uni. i’m from WA and i’m moving to SA in 3 weeks to begin my study. if you do end up moving, i’d also suggest researching ‘youth allowance’ which would help finance your living away from home situation. it’d be sick if you end up in the same uni and we become mates. not sure about life after uni but i’ve decided to document my aviation journey on my insta so if you need reference, there ya go! pilots are in demand in australia so if you do well in uni, you surely got this bro! go ✈️ 🤘

    @heyitsaph Před 4 lety +11

    For college in short, no you do not need to go to college. However, the reason many places are dropping the 4 year degree requirement is because of the pilot shortage. Once were out of the shortage i think we will start to see that requirement come back. I also dont think the major airlines will ever drop having a bachelors degree. Do you need it now? no. Will you need it in 15 years? maybe

    • @16KidGuitar
      @16KidGuitar Před 4 lety +6

      I highly doubt the regional airlines will ever bring back the four year degree requirement. I also theorize that most major airlines will be dropping that undergraduate degree requirement as well in the not too distant future. It just isn't necessary to have a degree just to be the pilot of an aircraft as your skills come from your experience flying aircraft not some degree that probably has nothing to do with aviation.
