Flight training isn’t like a traditional school program with a fixed timeline. How quickly you progress depends on several factors, including how often you fly, weather conditions, aircraft availability, and—most importantly—your ability to learn and apply new skills.

For Private Pilot License (PPL), on average, it can be done in 6–8 months. This is assuming you are training full-time.

The CPL program entails a minimum of 80 hours groundschool and 200 flight hours. One of the biggest achievements in the CPL course is to obtain the 200 flight hours. This is the main time consuming element. On average, a full-time student can finish the course in 12-20 months.

Note that according to Transport Canada, all professional pilot students must first obtain their Private Pilot License (PPL) before they can begin as Commercial Pilot License (CPL) students. The PPL is therefore the “prerequisite” to CPL.

The Instructor Rating training is at the student’s pace and convenience. The course will take 4-5 months to complete.

Multi-Engine rating can be completed in 4 to 7 days if full time. Multi-IFR rating will take 4-6 weeks if full time and 2 months if part time (3-2 lessons a week).
