@Everyone...
Not sure if this is the rite thread to post this.
I wanna know if there are any Pilot students presently in US/Canada from Nigeria or the UK.
I currently reside in the UK and looking at relocating to Canada for my Professional Pilot Training.

Would appreciate if someone points me in the rite direction.

Digiman:




The Standard Pilot course (SP) (PPL, CPL, IR, ME), does not not include ATPL, you can do your ATPL after a few years if you do not have the money to do it straight after you obtain your CPL.
The CPL is enough to get you into the flight deck as a first officer/co-pilot.

I listed the courses individually because it appears the Aviation college allows the courses do be done individually, this may be to your advantage especially if you do not have the funds to go for the packaged ab-initio courses. My advice will be do to the PPL, IR, ME and hopefuly before your CPL you will find and airline to sponsor you, if you are still struggling to find sponsorship i'd suggest try getting a job part time maybe working at the college or an airfield and save up for your CPL and also do an Instructors course, once qualified as a Flight instructor you may be able to get a job with the college or elsewhere this will not only enable you to start earning money it will also enable you to build up your flying hours which will come in handy when to apply for a job as an airline pilot.


Please, I just found this trend and I'm so glad I did. I have a whole lot of questions to ask but I'm gonna start from this. If one does the PPL and get the license, can he get a job in the aviation industry so as to enable him start saving for subsequent programs and develop his knowledge in the industry. Or what program can u advice that one take to at least get a job in the industry and prepare him for the career? Thanks so much.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

its very nice to see so much interest and constructive advice about becoming a pilot, here on nairaland. I hope that I can help those of you seriously seeking information.

I too was like many of you once, seeking all the info I could find on my dream career. I was lucky enough to have colleagues with the same dreams in secondary school, and we all got together and exchanged any info we had, and encouraged and supported each other. Not everybody made it, for one reason or another, but most of us now occupy what we call "the office in the sky".

It is not an impossible dream for anyone, regardless of your finances, gender, academic ability, tribe, etc. With dedication, determination and hard work, it IS possible. Listen to any positive advice you get here, and ignore the negative and sarcastic.

I am now a Captain with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, but sadly I did not do any of my training in Nigeria. I have friends that did, so I know a little about the training there. If you are looking for info on the steps and alternatives possible, I might be able to help.

Post your questions here, and I will try and reply as quickly as possible.

Captain are you still here?

Hi Everyone, I am 23 years old and have Bsc computer science. It has always been a childhood dream to train after O’ levels to become a pilot but was faced with financial constraints as my parents couldn't afford it at the time hence the reason i had to get a first degree while i sourced for financial support to get me though flying school. Gracefully, i have been able to gather enough funds and have decided to chase my dream of becoming a pilot so currently looking to apply to a school in Canada. Pilots in the house, i would appreciate any advice i can get. Thanks.
