How many hours will it take to get a Commercial Pilot Licence?

Everybody learns at a different rate, so it is impossible to answer this question in advance. However, as a guide; The CASA minimum is 150 hours. To achieve this, the course has to be run in a specific way, with inter-related milestones for theory and flying. At Basair, some students achieve their CPLs in 150 hours, although this is the exception to the rule. An average student is likely to get their CPL in 160-170 hours, although some students take longer than this.

How do I apply for the course?
  • Send your completed application form to us. There is no payment required at this stage. You can apply online on via the link below.
  • Should it be accepted, we will send you a conditional letter of offer, containing detailed course information
  • Once you receive your letter of offer, you will need to initial each page, sign the last page and return it to our office to begin the selection process

I have a HECS debt. Does this affect the amount of VET FEE-HELP assistance I can access?

No. Although HECS-HELP is part of an accumulated HELP debt, having a current or past HECS-HELP debt does not affect your VET FEE-HELP loan limit or your eligibility for VET FEE-HELP assistance.

What is the difference between VET FEE_HELP, FEE-HELP, HECS-HELP and OS-HELP?
VET FEE-HELP assistance can only be offered to eligible full fee-paying students from an approved VET provider for certain VET accredited diploma, advanced diploma, graduate certificate and graduate diploma courses. VET FEE-HELP is an extension of the higher education FEE-HELP arrangements.

FEE-HELP assistance can be offered to eligible fee-paying students from a higher education provider for an accredited higher education course. Irrespective of whether a student receives a loan under VET FEE-HELP or FEE-HELP, the same FEE-HELP loan limit applies.

HECS-HELP is only available to eligible students in a Commonwealth supported place studying a higher education qualification. HECS-HELP does not contribute to a student’s FEE-HELP limit.

OS-HELP loans assist eligible students, based in Australia, in a Commonwealth supported place, who have completed the first year of their course of study at their higher education provider, to undertake some of their study overseas. OS-HELP loans do not contribute to a student’s FEE-HELP limit.
