We are committed to developing highly skilled, safety-focused pilots who are ready for a successful career in the aviation industry. Our comprehensive ground and flight training is designed to equip you with the knowledge, confidence and real-world experience needed to follow a rewarding career pathway in rotary aviation.  \nThank you for your interest in the Diploma in Aviation (NZ3688, Level 5). We know that it takes a lot of patience, hard work, and saving to take this step towards becoming a professional pilot and we appreciate that you are considering training with us.  \nEach year, the Ministry allocates a specific number of seats for the Diploma. We will learn our 2027 allocation in mid-October 2026 allowing us to send out offers of placement in late October or early November. Candidates receiving offers have a fortnight to accept or decline the offer. We hope to have all notifications complete by the end of November so that trainees have time to make relocation arrangements. We expect again to have more candidates than available seats, so get in early with your completed application! We hope to be able to offer you a placement, but if we cannot, we would like to help you pursue your flying career in whatever way we can.  \nCourse Costs  \nIndividual course costs are fixed each year, but annual increases are limited to 6% or less. We understand that investing in helicopter flight training is a significant commitment. The costs involved reflect the specialised equipment, expertise and resources required to deliver safe, professional training to industry standards. While there are no shortcuts when it comes to quality aviation training, our focus is on providing the skills, experience and support you need to build a successful helicopter career. For domestic (NZ/AUS) heli students, 2027 tuition is $132,500. International tuition is $158,000. Any shortfall from StudyLink student loans and scholarships need to be deposited in advance as your ‘personal contribution’ to study. A second-year student loan depends upon satisfactory academic and flight progress in year one. All funds are deposited into a Public Fee-Protect Trust account for your protection. We have included a list of the course items included in our programme cost.  \nWanaka Helicopters takes a transparent, start-to-finish approach to aviation training costs. We aim to remove worries of most of the ‘incidental’ costs during training. Aviation is a team effort and to help build the industry’s next generation of pilots we are pleased to help trainees through our own scholarship programme! In 2027 Wanaka Helicopters is able to offer one $10,000 helicopter scholarship to selected New Zealand Mãori or Pasifika heritage candidates. As well as one $5,000 helicopter scholarship to female candidates. We also encourage Upper Clutha residents to apply for the Allen Hogan Scholarship ($4,000 helicopter) as well as the Pauwel Scholarship, Think Aviation and the James PG Foundation Scholarship for NZ citizens. Each candidate should actively explore their local or personal communities for other assistance opportunities.  \nCourse List  \nA course catalogue is included. The Diploma consists of core aviation theory courses, professional coursework such as safety management systems and ops courses, flight courses, and several compliance-based courses to help prepare you for the workplace. These courses include CAA requirements for private and commercial pilot licences, but go above and beyond them. Courses have classroom discussions, required reading, presentations, assignments, and flying exercises designed to help you succeed ","cbCaiuBIoDKUsIBP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuBIoDKUsIBP","pdf",4401440,"English","# Course Information & Application\n## Course Costs\n## Course List\n## Checklist for Your Application","[{\"question\":\"When will 2027 placement offers be sent and how long do candidates have to respond?\",\"answer\":\"The 2027 allocation is learned in mid-October 2026, and offers are sent out in late October or early November.
