TRAINING CENTRE
EST. 1967
The MAF Training Centre offers the specific knowledge and skills required to become a MAF pilot through a full-time 15-month programme. As a MAF Preferred Training Provider, we offer reduced course fees for candidates from MAF Resourcing Groups.
Mareeba’s ideal location includes challenging climate, geography and weather conditions, plus the close proximity to two active MAF programmes providing an important cross-cultural experience to prepare for the mission field.
