You can do modular quicker than intergrated but it takes some dedication and planning.
You can save quite a bit of time on the ground school and other stuff if you have a engineering background.
PLL 3 weeks
Hour building 2*2 week blocks.
Theory 2 * 2 month blocks with a hour building block in the middle waiting for the exams to come back. So would agree 6 months but you can do the hour building in that period.
So we are up to 7 months now.
IR 8 weeks CPL 2 weeks MCC 2 weeks.
Which gives you 12 months.
It needs everything to go to plan and basically giving a year of your life to it.
I wouldn't recommend it though one of the advantages of modular is the networking and enjoyment of flying and taking things at nice progressive pace.
