How the weekend PPL course works
- Theory at your own pace — nine subjects via our modern e-learning, on weekday evenings or in the weekend, with exam training when you're ready.
- Practical training in the weekend — at least 45 flying hours with an instructor and solo, scheduled on your fixed Saturday or Sunday. On average, one to two lessons per weekend.
- Exams — schedule theory exams separately; you take the practical exam when you're ready.
Count on a year and a half to two years from your first lesson to your license with one fixed lesson day per weekend. Want to go faster? Combine weekends with extra weekday sessions or take a look at our intensive PPL course.
