The course list is estimated to see approximately 8,500 fee free places in the care sector, 2,400 in technology and digital, 1,900 in agriculture, 1,500 in construction, 1,400 in hospitality and tourism, 300 in sovereign capability including manufacturing, and around 2,800 in other sectors including foundational skills.

Have your say on a structured supervision program for pilots

10/10/2022

 
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) are seeking feedback on the first Advisory Circular (AC) on pilot supervision.  Contact CASA to provide your insights into:
  • the concept: should pilots - who are flying for an operator without a training system - have a period of supervision after joining an organisation or obtaining new qualifications?
  • the content and readability: are the messages understood and clearly explained?
  • the examples: are they realistic? 
  • whether you think operators - to whom the AC applies - will adopt pilot supervision as part of their training process.

Feedback Wanted: on the Proposed Heavy Vehicle Driver Apprenticeship!

We are currently evaluating a proposal to vary an existing Class B Traineeship (TLI31216 Certificate III Driving Operations) to a Class A Heavy Vehicle Driving Apprenticeship (TLI31221 Certificate III in Driving Operations) through an Establishment and Variation of Apprenticeship (EVAC) process via the STB. Please see the attached document, and below hyperlinks for further details.
