Any recommendations for flight schools in Melbourne?
Posted by secure_mindful@reddit | flying | View on Reddit | 2 comments
I am currently enrolled in RMIT university looking to become an airline pilot in the future and their program is just atrocious. Look the theory is great and well run though the flying aspect is piss poor. I barely get any bookings, their overfly (extra flights or repeated lessons) are high and their overall organisation and actual personalisation/independent teaching and learning is so poor. It is the definition of a sausage school, I thought having an airbase to urself would be nice but it just means the adf steals both instructors and planes, let alone the Bendigo airport doing the exact same thing.
I still want the bachelors degree and plan to just do the theory and classes to achieve that and pay for it using HECS - debt.
I nor my family will be able to afford for flight training upfront and I require loans and plan to do my flight training through a vet course instead. I am just wondering if anyone on this sub has any positive experiences with certain flight schools or even recommendations for some based in Melbourne and that fit the criteria of what I’m looking for?

It looks like you're asking about getting a college degree.
A degree never hurts, get one if you can afford it. Whether it is required today or not, it may be required tomorrow. And the degree can be in anything, the major isn't that important.
Please read our FAQ, which has a ton of information and wisdom about becoming a pilot, including advice on college.
