PPL Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?
There are a minimum of 40 hours of Ground School required by Transport Canada. The cost of the Ground School portion of the training is $396.00 (this includes fees for Continuing Education and taxes). While we provide some of the materials required in the course through our online course management system, you will be required to purchase materials from the bookstore. The cost of the materials is determined by the bookstore and is approximately $350 dollars.

Flight training and briefings are the other costs in completing the PPL. Depending on student ability and success, as well as commitment, the flight training portion will cost between $8,000 and $12,000. Our program is aimed at having students learn to fly safely in the minimum time required.

When does it start?
The program starts Tuesday, April 6 with ground school classes running twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursday through June. From 6-9pm. Students will fly or train in the simulator as per individual schedule.

How long does it take?
How long it takes depends somewhat on the student. Students can start flying in May and a typical program will consist of three (3) bookings of about 3 hours in length per week for 10-12 weeks. Some students require additional training, which we can accommodate.

Will this get me into the Aviation Diploma program?
Our PPL Program is designed to prepare students to enter our Aviation Diploma program in the Fall. While there are no guarantees, students who are dedicated and who follow the program and proceed apace, will be completed in a timely way and meet the prerequisites for entrance by September 1.
