How long does it take to complete pilot training in Kenya?

How long it would take to complete pilot training in Kenya would depend on your goal. To get a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) in Kenya, you will need an average of 1 to 2 years (in some extreme cases 3 years). Whereas you will need around only 3 to 6 months to obtain a Private Pilot License (PPL). Not all pilot licenses allow you to get paid for your service. You are not allowed to charge others if you only hold a Private Pilot License. By completing your pilot training in Kenya with a Commercial Pilot License, you will be able to work for some Airlines.
