Yes—we help students access education loans and offer payment schedule guidance.
Why is New Zealand becoming a preferred location for CPL training?
New Zealand offers a distraction-free environment, clear skies, low air traffic, and highly personalized training, perfect for focused, fast-track CPL completion.
Can I stay and work in New Zealand after CPL?
CPL training does not directly lead to a post-study work visa. However, some students pursue instructor training or type-rating courses, which may open doors for short-term opportunities. Visa rules may change, so always consult your advisor.
Is the investment in NZ pilot training worth it compared to cheaper countries?
While New Zealand is more expensive, the training quality, aircraft maintenance standards, weather consistency, and instructor expertise make it a strong choice for long-term success, especially if you’re aiming for competitive airline roles.
What is the food and lifestyle like for Indian students?
Most student accommodations include Indian or customizable meal plans. Supermarkets stock familiar brands, and the lifestyle is peaceful, structured, and well-suited for serious students.
Can I complete ground school in India and then go to New Zealand just for flying?
Yes! Many students complete their ground training with us at Pilot Academy in India and only go to New Zealand for flight training. This can help you cut down on costs and save time.
