About the Course
Zero to Hero is our complete career program: Private Pilot License, Instrument Rating, Commercial Single-Engine and Multi-Engine, and both instructor ratings (CFI and CFII) on one structured, accelerated path. Instead of piecing together courses school by school, you train continuously with instructors who know exactly where you are and where you're headed.
Finishing with your instructor ratings matters: teaching is how most professional pilots build the flight hours airlines require — while getting paid to fly. You graduate not just certificated, but employable.
Every course in the program follows the same Part 141 structure and pricing you see on our individual course pages — the table below is the complete picture.

Common Questions
How much does it cost to become a pilot in Miami?
The complete Zero to Hero program — from zero experience through commercial pilot with multi-engine and both instructor ratings — starts at $68,333.38 with members-only rates, based on FAA-minimum hours. Each course's full breakdown is on its own page.
How long does Zero to Hero take?
It depends entirely on your schedule. The program is continuous, so full-time students move through it far faster than part-time — and Miami's year-round flying weather keeps training on pace. Talk to our team and we'll map a realistic timeline to your availability.
Why finish with the CFI ratings?
Because your first flying job is usually teaching. Airlines require significant flight hours, and instructing is how most professional pilots build them — logging time and getting paid while cementing their own skills. Zero to Hero graduates finish ready to work.
