Bcit Pilot Program Review
BCIT Student Review - Forum Vancouver. Oh f**k I only have two more weeks to go to BCIT, but this school sucks, especially business school. Don't trust BCIT - any.
I graduated from the BCIT program a year ago, and I would highly recommend it. I had a blast, met some amazing people, and got a job a month after our grad ceremony flying King Airs. It definitely includes some BS classes, but its pretty much 50 percent flying, 50 percent classroom stuff, most of the classroom stuff being groundschool and interesting, all classes are aviation related at least.
It is pricey, but you can go in never even having seen an airplane and come out 18 months later a commercially rated multi-IFR pilot. If you have any questions shoot me a message, I'd be happy to help. ---------- ADS. To be fair if I'm not mistaken part of the reason you managed to get that King Air job because you had nearly 500 hours and lots of private time flying the family aircraft, am I not correct? Just so the OP knows that's not necessarily going to be the norm for everyone. Lots of guys from the same BCIT class are hucking bags in Norman Wells right now. BCIT is great for like icosco said, go from no FT to full CPL in a short time.
It's very structured so great for those who need a schedule and one of the best programs on the west side of Canada. ---------- ADS. This is true, I also got lucky as hell to get my job in any case. But two of my classmates who were hucking bags at NWA are flying now, one on the twotter and the other on the 1900. Another two of my classmates got on with Orca straight out of school and are bangin out hours like crazy. Those four would be better examples of post-grad BCIT students than myself. Either way, having this diploma definitely aided all of us in getting our jobs.
I think NWA might even require a diploma/degree nowadays, but I could be wrong on that. ---------- ADS. Screen Recorder Cracked Source.

Yeah there's a lot of people from your class that got started flying pretty fast. Who up in NWA are flying now?
The person who was at TWA and moved? If you know who I'm talking about. I think the big thing to take away for the OP is you get what you put in.
There are a lot of BCIT grads who made it pretty fast and a lot who don't fly anymore. Then there are also alot of normal flight school grads who also found jobs quickly. The industry is bumpin' right now. Sooner you get your licenses the sooner you can get in on the action. ---------- ADS. I am an ex PFC grad.
Not BCIT however we had the same instructors and a slightly adjusted curriculum. I was very happy with the training I received and was able to completed my PPL through MIFR in just under two years privately. This was with a lot of breaks (both summers I took 2-3months off flying and 2 months off near the end mainly due to money issues). I was lucky enough to find a job right out of flight school. Coming up on 750 hours now, 8 months after finishing training. I'll be going captain soon and hopefully by my one year anniversary from starting my first job I'll have my ATPL. ---------- ADS.
