Look If I am unable to cover any training or travel costs at the moment, would your academy consider training me on the condition that I repay the full amount once I am working as a commercial pilot?
Hi!
Thank you for your interest! However, we don’t have a train now, pay later program. Also, we encourage students to have funds readily available since scholarships and financing are not available to international students. Once training has started, it’s best not to have any interruptions. Stopping and starting your flight training costs much more in the long run, because your skills and knowledge become dull when you are grounded while saving up funds to fly. It is more cost and time-efficient to have your flight training funds readily available so you can train without interruption.
Thank you!
I saw your post saying you’re unable to cover your training cost and are thinking about financial aid or loans. That’s a tough spot, and you’re not alone — many pilots-in-training face funding gaps. One thing to consider is splitting your payments (if the academy allows), or looking for scholarships, aviation grants, or aviation-oriented sponsorships in your country. Also, sometimes small part-time work related to aviation (ground ops, airport jobs) can help you stay engaged and build a network while you fund the flying hours.
I’m curious: do you know whether Epic Flight Academy accepts external scholarships or allows payment plans? And have you checked any aviation associations in your country for funding help?
