New Zealand Diploma in Aviation (Aeroplane and Helicopter)

The purpose of this qualification is to provide the Airline sectors and Flight Training Schools of the NZ Aviation Industry with individuals who have attained sufficient operational and theoretical knowledge and practical skills to achieve employment as commercial pilots or associated support staff in flight planning and aircraft operations in those fields. Graduates will qualify to operate as commercial pilots under the appropriate NZ Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) rules for air transport operations (e.g. regional, domestic, charter or international airlines) and flight instruction.

We specialise in training international students to an advanced level as a pre-cursor to entry into the aviation industry. The aviation school provides flight and ground training from basic Private Pilot License through to Commercial Pilot License with Instrument Rating and NZ Diploma in Aviation.

We will make you ready for every possible scenario in flight and build your automatic reactions as a pilot while you are simultaneously flying an airplane, communicating with air traffic control and managing navigation equipment.
