The introduction of the AVI Aviation Training Package Release 3.0 will provide a viable national framework for implementation of regulations as required by ICAO, CASA, the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development, and other relevant national regulatory bodies.
Training and VET policies have been addressed during the development process through consultation with state/territory training authorities and state/territory Industry Skills Councils.
The national and state/territory training authorities will need to consider the public funding implications of delivering and assessing these units of competency and qualifications, and the workplace participation and productivity agenda as identified in the Australian Government’s National Aviation White Paper 20091. It is anticipated that a significant increase in public and private enterprise interest in the commercial pilot (aeroplane and helicopter) and air transport qualifications will result in increased demand for public funding for training and assessment of these products.
