• Note: Aerospace engineering and equivalent areas (aeronautical engineering, avionics engineering, etc.) and aviation and equivalent areas (aviation management, air transport management, etc.) are considered to be cognate areas.
• Qualifications are provided with the corresponding AQF level, and international qualifications are assessed according to this framework. Equivalent qualifications to those stated will also be considered, e.g. if you have been certified by Engineers Australia as a Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng), this is considered equivalent to a Bachelor Honours (AQF level 8) in Engineering. Similarly, if you have been certified by Engineers Australia as a Chartered Engineering Technologist (CEngT), this is considered equivalent to a Bachelor (AQF level 7) in Engineering.
• Relevant work experience is considered to be in aviation or a related industry. In some cases it is required that work experience is at manager level. Applicants applying on the basis of any work experience must provide a letter from their employer(s) (or equivalent) verifying their roles and the duration of these. Years of work experience are considered in terms of full-time equivalence.
