Integrated programs are full-time, structured pathways to CPL/ATPL theory, while modular routes let you build licenses step-by-step with more flexibility.
Look at instructor standardization, aircraft availability, simulator hours, weather/airspace suitability, safety culture, and graduate outcomes.
Costs vary widely by country and pathway. Many pilots budget for training, exams, medicals, gear, and living expenses—and plan for contingencies (weather delays, extra hours).
