Dear Epic Flight academy Team],
My name is Tanaël , and I am an international student interested in enrolling in a complete flight training program from Private Pilot License (PPL) to Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL).
I have a maximum budget of $70,000 USD and I am currently improving my English level. I would like to know if your academy offers a full training program within this budget and whether you assist international students with visa applications (M-1 visa).
Additionally, I am very interested in schools that have airline partnerships or job placement programs, as my goal is to become a commercial airline pilot.
I would also like to ask:
Are the training fees payable in multiple installments?
Do you offer any scholarships or financial aid for international students?
Could you please provide detailed information about:
Total cost and duration of the full training (PPL to ATPL)
English language requirements
Visa support for international students
Airline partnerships and job placement opportunities
Payment plans and scholarship availability
Thank you very much for your time and support. I look forward to your response.
Hello Tanaël,
Here are the answers to your specific questions.
Are the training fees payable in multiple installments? We are happy to offer the “pay as you fly” option. You are required to pay at least $10,000 as a down payment before your classes begin. Then, you will start using the funds on your account until you have $1,000 left on your account. Then, you will need to add funds to your account to continue flight training.
Do you offer any scholarships or financial aid for international students? Unfortunately, we do not offer scholarships for international students. However, we encourage you to explore external scholarship opportunities or financial aid options that may be available in your home country. Feel free to review funding suggestions here: https://epicflightacademy.com/flight-school-financing-international/
Could you please provide detailed information about:
Total cost and duration of the full training (PPL to ATPL)? For international students, we can only offer from PPL up to CPL course.
Our Airline Pilot Program for international students takes you through all the training necessary to become a professional pilot under FAA standards. For international students, tuition is $69,917 USD, and it takes approximately 7 months to complete the training. https://epicflightacademy.com/international-pilot-pathway/
The program is composed of a Private pilot license course, an Instrument rating, and a Commercial pilot license course. Please see the cost breakdown here: https://epicflightacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/march-2024-international.pdf
English language requirements? We now require applicants to have an IELTS or TOEFL certificate as one of the requirements. A minimum score of 5.5 for pilot training for IELTS and a minimum score of 110 for TOEFL.
Visa support for international students? We help in processing an M1 visa. We will provide you with the necessary paperwork for your visa and will assist you step by step throughout your process.
Airline partnerships and job placement opportunities? For international students, we do not guarantee a job placement after completion. By having an M1 visa during your stay in the US, you are required to go back to your country after the training.
