Courses are offered on a "continuous intake"
basis. A new course may begin on approximately the 1st or 15th of each month. This means
that you may start whenever it is convenient for you, provided that space is currently
available. Normally, our courses will fill up early for the fall and spring sessions, so
students are advised to confirm a starting date in advance whenever possible, to avoid
delays in commencement of training. A waiting list is maintained when enrolment exceeds
our practical operational capacity. As soon as space becomes available, students on the
waiting list are contacted to schedule a start date.
A deposit of $1000.00 is required to confirm a starting
date. This deposit will apply in full towards the cost of the course. Heli-College Canada
is accredited by the Private
Career Training Institutions Agency of British Columbia (PCTIA) and, therefore,
tuition deposits are secured by the Student
Training Completion Fund. If the student should cancel their commitment, refunds will be
handled in accordance with the PCTIA Bylaws and the PCTIA Act. Copies of these
documents are given out at the time of registration or may be viewed online at
the PCTIA website.
Ground school (tuition) and textbook fees are due at the commencement
of training.
Fees for flight training
(aircraft utilization) are handled on a "pay as you
go" basis. Usually a student will pay for a block of approximately 10 flight hours at
a time. When these hours are used up, another block of 10 hours is placed on account.
There are several potential
sources of funding assistance available.
The exact amount that you may qualify for, will depend on your personal
circumstances.
It is also important to note that within Canada, the cost
of commercial flight training is deductible for Income Tax purposes.
Heli-College Canada is
primarily a commercial helicopter training facility. Therefore, no PST or GST is charged on tuition fees for commercial
training. This is not the case with all schools. Be aware that some do not
qualify as GST exempt, and must add taxes to their quoted rates.
No PST is charged on safety equipment or textbooks.
