Our second year Bachelor of Aviation (Flying) and Graduate Diploma in Flying students now have the opportunity to participate in Q-ACE – a program delivered by the Qantas Group that helps prepare aspiring airline pilots for direct entry employment opportunities after completing their university study.

Q-ACE builds on the hugely successful Qantas Future Pilot Program (QFPP), pioneered by UNSW and Qantas in 2015, and provides development activity in technical and non-technical skills, personal preparation, and insight into the recruitment process – conducted by Qantas Group pilots and the talent acquisition team.

I am grateful that Qantas continue to support our students during their time at UNSW and am confident Q-ACE will prove a worthy successor to the QFPP, complementing the education and training the pilots undertake to obtain their professional pilot qualifications.
