Levels & Requirements
The Australian Aviation Industry is one of the most strict and safest in the world. NQAC can train you to the level you desire and provide all the essential information regarding current Licence Types, Government Legislation and Requirements.

Students
All pilots start out as students. With the proper training, the student pilot certificate allows you to work toward the first big milestone in aviation: the solo. That’s right, a solo is when your instructor cuts you loose to fly on your own. It will be one of the most exciting and memorable moments of your life. After additional training, you earn either your General Flying Progress Test (GFPT), Private Pilot Licence (PPL) or Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL),  which allows you to take one or more passengers for rides.

Recreational
The recreational pilot certificate is a more limited form of the private certificate. It's a great way to earn your wings if you'll be flying close to your home airport during the daytime with no more than one passenger. It requires less effort and money to earn than the private; however, most people who start down this path eventually go on to earn the private certificate anyway.
If you become a recreational pilot, additional training and experience will allow you to easily upgrade to a private pilot certificate.

Advanced
With extensive training, the instrument rating can be added to the private pilot certificate, which enables you to fly in clouds and bad weather by using references to instruments. Beyond that is the commercial pilot certificate if you want to fly for hire and certificated flight instructor, which allows you to teach other people to fly. At the highest level is the airline transport pilot certificate. It's required for airline, corporate, and charter pilots.
