OVERVIEW

About this program.

AIPA's flagship NZ Diploma in Aviation pathway combines the New Zealand CAA Commercial Pilot License with Multi-Engine and Instrument Ratings into a single integrated programme delivered at North Shore Aerodrome north of Auckland.

The 18 month course is recognised under the Diploma in Aviation framework, which qualifies international students for the NZ post-study work visa pathway. Training is delivered on a Robin R2160, Cessna 172 and Diamond DA42 twin-engine aircraft, with strong placement results into NZ regional carriers and Asia-Pacific airlines.
