Three pathways.
One runway.

Total cost depends on which licence track you complete — PPL only, PPL→CPL, or full PPL→CPL→IR→ME. Every program package — with the full cost structure — is downloadable from the Tuition Resource Library. Admissions confirms your tailored written quote once your track is selected, using the same milestone structure as the payment schedule above.

Milestone payment amounts are fixed at the time of enrollment and recorded in your formal enrollment letter. We don't re-price mid-programme. The only variable cost is additional flight hours beyond the standard programme — for example, if a cadet needs extra hours to consolidate a manoeuvre. Those are billed at a transparent per-hour rate, also disclosed at enrollment.

Government cadet programs are country-specific and competitive. Eligibility depends on your nationality, the active programs we have running with that government at the time of your application, and your aptitude assessment results. Our admissions team confirms current intake availability and walks you through the application process during your first call.

The Skyway Airlines MOU is structured as an employment-pipeline agreement — its value to families comes from the post-graduation pathway rather than a direct tuition reduction. For financing, this works two ways: (1) families and lenders gain a documented post-graduation employment pathway, which strengthens any private financing application, and (2) qualified cadets accepted into the priority hiring track can structure their long-term financial planning around a defined airline starting position. Read the full partnership terms on the Airlines page.

Refund terms are governed by Continental Aero's Code of Conduct, which is provided in writing during your formal enrollment process. Specific refund schedules vary by training phase and the circumstances of withdrawal — your admissions consultant walks you through the full document, including unused-flight-hour provisions and phase-completion treatment, before any payment is finalized. We do not publish abbreviated refund terms here because the Code of Conduct is the binding source.

Continental Aero focuses on what we do best — pilot training. For loan financing, families typically work directly with their personal or commercial bank, where education-loan products are widely available and often more competitively priced than anything a flight school could arrange. Our role is to make that bank conversation easier: we issue formal enrollment letters that international lenders accept for education-loan applications, provide currency-stable invoicing, structure tuition in milestone installments that work with most family finance plans, and offer pre-arrival financial counseling so families arrive in Cebu with a clear payment plan already in place. If helpful, our admissions team can walk you through what to bring to your bank meeting.
