Professional Piloting
Get your career off to a flying start with one of our piloting courses.
The wonders of commercial aviation have transformed the global economy and our society. Those sitting in the cockpit get to experience the world in ways most people never will. To become one of them, you’ll need to complete pilot training.
Swinburne’s pilot courses take you from never flying to achieving a commercial pilot licence and give you the skills to go on to a professional career. We provide a bachelor degree specifically designed to teach and train you in how to become a professional pilot.
You’ll fly planes with CAE Melbourne Flight Training at Moorabbin Airport in a busy airport setting and, as part of your studies, you’ll have access to a large fleet glass cockpit equipped aircraft as well as state-of-the-art simulators.
You’ll graduate from our pilot school with the skills and confidence to fly for commercial airlines. The sky truly is the limit.
