The new premises at One Five Vaughan are more than double the size of the existing Bristol Street site at 903 square metres, and will allow Aviation Australia to train more students in aviation maintenance engineering.
Delivered through six-week teaching blocks, the roughly 12-month course aims to teach “technical knowledge and strategic management skills” to potential industry leaders, the university said.
The scholarship, which this year offered $120,000 shared by five final-year students completing aviation degrees at RMIT, will be expanded to $150,000 for six students in 2025.
The deal will allow the joint delivery of the diploma of aircraft maintenance engineering (mechanical) by Aviation Australia, providing a pathway for local students in the region to attain the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part 66 aircraft maintenance licence.
Glenn Ryan AM, former director general of the Australian Army’s Executive Training Authority, has also served as chief of staff and chief operations officer at Forces Command, as well as chief instructor at 1st Recruit Training Battalion. He will replace outgoing CEO Bill Horrock.
While the neural network remains a work in progress, Charles Sturt University researcher Dr Ivan Maksymov believes it could be put into use at the Australian Airline Pilot Academy (AAPA) at Wagga Wagga.
