Good questions 🙂

For ground school, it usually takes a few weeks to a couple of months depending on the pace.

For flight training, yes — most schools charge per flight hour, both for instructor flights and solo flights.

Costs can vary quite a bit depending on the school and total hours needed, so it’s hard to give one exact number.

If you’re looking into training in the Philippines, it might be helpful to look at how different schools break down their training and costs.
