Nerita Somers always wanted to be a pilot. But she is now $77,000 out of pocket without the commercial pilot licence she wanted after her flying school was stripped of its accreditation.
Ms Somers signed up in 2017 to study aviation part time, two nights a week, on top of her full-time job as an analyst in Melbourne.The skills authority found Soar Aviation was not adequately supporting the needs of individual students, wasn't meeting the requirements of the training package, and did not have appropriate assessment processes and practices.
She has $77,500 in government VET loans and that figure doesn't take into account extra training she has had to make up for the course she said was not "fit for purpose".She believed the course would get her a recreational and commercial pilot licence. But she claims the commercial aspect was rescinded once the cut off date to withdraw from the course, without being billed, had passed.
She alleges students were not properly trained or provided with the tools to learn and that flight lessons were repeatedly cancelled.According to the skills authority, Soar Aviation said students' completed units would be recognised if they enrolled with a new aviation institution. "We're [also] looking at whether there have been representations made by Box Hill Institute and Soar that may be misleading and deceptive."
