Started theory mid May with distance learning course as a pedestrian, passed all exams in one shot early September.
Started flying in July, passed exam early November with hours in the 50's (with about 10h bad weather training with little training content relevant for the exam but great for later, I took as it was booked anyways, not all were nice experience, but I do not regret having trained such with an instructor on the right) - took 5 different instructors to match my odd time constraints.
16 weeks duration for theory, 17 weeks for flight training, 26 weeks total from pedestrian to pilot, hours in the 50's and all parallel to fulltime+ working.
