Costs
The CAA is unable to give advice on how much schools or training courses cost. You will need to contact the flying schools directly to ascertain this. Most flight schools advertise a complete price for the qualifications they offer and also a training rate by the hour.

Changing flying schools
If you find it's not the right fit for you, you are able to change your flying school. If you decide you want to change schools before you finish your training, you must ensure that your training records are transferred to your new school.

It is recommended that, in such circumstances; you contact the liquidator for a copy of your training records, or your instructor who may have kept your records. It is not recommended that you secure...
