The cost for tuition is $19,500 plus $300 for books and $1,500 for tools. (Note: You will own these tools.) There is a $45 application fee once you are approved. There are 3 FAA exams that cost $150 each taken at the end of the 3 courses. Upon completion of the program, there is an FAA oral exam and an FAA practical exam. These cost a total of $1,050. We disclose all costs upfront so you can plan accordingly. Total cost is: $22,850.

Hello, Nauman!
Epic Flight Academy will not require you to pay the tuition in full at one time. When you begin, you are only required to pay $250 to start, then you can pay as you go. Financing is available through student loans. We also offer an annual scholarship for our aircraft mechanic program for a high school senior. You will have the potential to earn a generous aircraft mechanic salary that will quickly offset your initial investment. You can read more here: https://epicflightacademy.com/aircraft-mechanic/

If not, you are not allowed to work during your stay here because you will be traveling with an M1 (study only) visa. But if you are a US citizen, you can always find a side job while you’re doing your flight training.
At Epic Flight Academy, we take pride in the level of training we provide. For more than 20 years, Epic has been training thousands of pilots from around the world who are now successfully working for airlines and other aviation companies. With the worldwide pilot shortage, if students are well prepared and trained it will help them land their first job after successfully completing at Epic.
The training will take around 7 months to complete. And we have airlines that come here and hire. Air Wisconsin, Republic, Endeavor, Piedmont, and Ameriflight are some of a few that stop by and interview our CFI’s. Basically, we train students to meet all airline requirements and standards. https://epicflightacademy.com/flight-school-faq/does-epic-flight-academy-have-any-agreements-with-regional-airlines-to-assist-with-job-placement/

We are proud to say that in 20 years of flight training, Epic graduates have enjoyed a 100% job placement rate. Pilots are desperately needed all over the world. Still, no school can truly promise anyone an airline pilot job. Due to the pilot shortage, airlines are in constant contact with our school looking for future pilots to fly for them. But, just as it is with all schools, you will ultimately be the one to get the job yourself.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
