The Return on Investment (ROI)

The graph above illustrates the journey of a prospective pilot, from the initial investment to the full realization of their dream, through the Double CPL(H) training.

At the beginning of the journey, the investment required to enroll in helicopter pilot training is substantial. The future pilot will fully repay their investment within 10 years, with the assistance of CEFA’s support. This ease of access to employment even before completing the training allows the future pilot to make their monthly payments without worries, ensuring a smooth transition to their new job.

The key aspect of this graph is the upward curve of return on investment. It shows that from the 3rd to the 7th year following entry into training, the future pilot takes on roles related to flight preparation. This allows them to apply the skills they’ve acquired while becoming more familiar with the pilot’s environment. You will be able to live comfortably while repaying your investment at this point.

The eagerly anticipated moment arrives in the 7th year: You are ready to take control of your career and fly as a professional pilot in the sector of your choice. It is at this stage that the initial investment is fully justified. The pilot then leads the life of their dreams, being able to fly independently with the confidence and expertise gained during these formative years.

This is how your initial investment will transform into a long-term dream career.
