Turn years of hands-on aviation management or flight operations experience into the AVI50119 Diploma of Aviation (Aviation Management), a nationally recognised qualification reflecting the roles of aviation management personnel performing ground operations duties in support of commercial or Defence aviation flight operations. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) allows your experience applying technical and non-technical aviation skills across aerodrome and air transport operations to be formally assessed against this qualification rather than starting your learning over. Once your evidence is assessed and confirmed by our partner RTO, you hold the same AQF-recognised Diploma as anyone who completed the qualification through classroom-based study.

Our navigators support you through the process to help ensure your portfolio meets the RTO's requirements before it's submitted. If the RTO finds your application ineligible after portfolio submission, you may be entitled to a refund of fees paid to ATSR, in accordance with our and the RTO's refund policy.
Assessors look at real operational evidence such as flight logs, mission or operation records, and documentation showing you've operated aircraft or RPAS within regulatory requirements. Risk management records or operational planning documents you've prepared also help support a diploma-level application.
Yes, it's the exact same AQF-registered qualification, issued by an ASQA-registered RTO — RPL is a different pathway to the same credential, not a shortcut to something lesser. ATSR isn't the RTO; it guides you through the process while the partner RTO conducts the assessment and issues the diploma.
A Diploma of Aviation (Aviation Management) supports a move into roles like Aerodrome Manager or Operations Manager, as well as ongoing work as a Helicopter Pilot or Commercial Pilot. It's aimed at people ready to take on management responsibility within an aviation operation, not just flying duties.
