Australian aviation college dupes Indian students

Updated on: Wednesday, July 29, 2009

Melbourne: Fate of several Indian students enrolled in a Sydney-based aviation college have been left in limbo after their dreams of acquiring commercial pilot license remained unfulfilled even after paying thousands of dollars.

In a latest scam which came to light after ABC TV channel programme 'Four Corners' exposed migration and education agents duping Indian students, Aerospace Aviation college that provides commercial pilot training, it was alleged, exploited international students besides ill treating Indian students.

Under their aviation course, students who have signed up for a commercial pilots' license course that cost USD 43,500, Aerospace Aviation must deliver 200 hours of flying over 52 weeks.

Many students alleged that they never received enough flying hours due to lack of facilities and unavailability of instructors
