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. Whilst some schools will offer ‘all inclusive’ packages, this is usually based upon the minimum number of flying hours set out in the licence requirements. Many students require additional lessons/hours to complete their traini...
Protecting your investment
The CAA’s approval of a flight school means it complies with all safety requirements and is able to provide training to an agreed standard.

For this reason, the CAA advises all prospective student pilots to take precautions to protect their financial investment. Many flying schools may offer a discount if you...
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.
Dispute with a flying school
The CAA regulates the safety practices of training organisations. We are not an ombudsman service so are unable to intervene in personal issues or grievances. We recommend that you follow the complaints process at your flying school or contact Citizens Advice. If you have a concern over the safety practice of your school, you can report a potential breach of aviation law.
What to do if your training school ceases trading
In the event that your ATO/DTO ceases trading before your training is complete, it is important that your training records are secured and retained by an independent body. Unfortunately, the CAA does not hold individual's training records and therefore would be unable to assist in this situation. 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...
