TAFE courses often prioritise hands-on training, which may limit the depth of theoretical knowledge compared to a university degree. The curriculum is narrowly tailored to specific aviation roles, limiting career options and adaptability. TAFE institutions often have industry partnerships; however, these connections may be less extensive than those of universities. There may also be higher education barriers pursue further studies. Transitioning from a TAFE qualification to a university degree might require additional prerequisites. Limited management roles as some higher-level management positions in aviation may prefer candidates with university degrees.
