Course cancellation, re-enrolment and RPL will be assessed by the Head of Operations in consultation with the involved flight instructors and the student.

Appendix A: Incidental Costs

The following gives you an idea of other costs involved in your training. The below are estimates. Whilst we aim to provide you with current and accurate information, AIAC accepts no responsibility for third-party pricing and changes that may have been introduced since publication of this document. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm any pricing from sources outside of AIAC. Some of these fees you may have already paid. If enrolling in the dual diploma, some costs will only need to be paid once, such as you ARN, ASIC, application fee etc. Most incidental costs are paid at the time of receiving a service and are therefore likely to be non-refundable. Check with the provider for more information. All AIAC incidental costs (i.e. paid to AIAC) are non-refundable.
