Talking 150 hr CPL

Some good advice has been given re 150 vs 200 hour programs, however the real point you need to remember even if you can enrol into a 150 hour program is that CPL is in the end not hours based but competency based.

Yes you will need a minimum of 150 hours for integrated course of which at least 70 is PIC, or on a 200 hour program at least 100 must be PIC. But most importantly you need to be at CPL standard in those hours, if you do not meet the standard then it will take more hours - so the 150 hour course may in fact take 160 or 170 hours.

Given you have had a significant break away your skills will certainly be rusty and you will need to spend some time regaining the standard you had previously.

Good luck with it all
