CRICOS-approved flight training school

The college is a registered training organisation (RTO) with CRICOS approval, and approximately half our customers are international students on sponsored student visas. We have tailored programmes for students from different countries, to ensure they meet their local requirements while studying for an Australian CPL.

Competency-based flight training

Basair is distinctive in the quality of its training, attracting the best instructors and utilising a competency-based training curriculum that ensures students learn all of the content for a CPL in the most efficient way.

All instructors either have, or are working towards, formal teaching qualifications. They are also working towards CASA flight instructor ratings, which ensures that they are not only excellent pilots, but also great teachers.

About Basair

From the commencement of operations our company philosophy has been that of uncompromising training and safety standards. Customer focus has been a vital part of the way the company operates. This has been recognised, with Basair winning the 2005 and 2006 Business Award for best aviation business in the region, along with the 2006 Best Business Award for the best business in all categories.

Furthermore, Australia is one of the best countries in the world for students to come and learn to fly. The weather is excellent, resulting in students progressing swiftly through their study, and CASA also regulates the airspace to a very high safety standard. Additionally, Sydney offers a great destination for students, with beautiful beaches and a cosmopolitan population.
