KayPam, you are being too naive...plain simple.

2 months for PPL
2 months for IR
2 months for CPL
6 months for ATPL Theory
Throw in a few more for unexpected delays, exam retakes and time building, you just got your 14-15 months MINIMUM.

You have to remember that planes break down, that you're not the only student the school has to get flying, that sometimes it's easier said than done and you have to focus on a specific thing and so on... Don't run against the clock, I can guarantee you that life will make the clock win.

Take your time, choose what's best for your pocket and career but be realistic on your goals. Forget the big poster every school has by the door saying: "Our cadets fly for XXX, YYY, CCC, AAA, BBB". The cadets fly for those schools based on their own effort, sleepless nights and most of the time self-sponsored type rating + MCC/JOC + whatever... YOU will be the difference between flying for A or B airline in the future, don't rely on their marketing because in the end of the day, schools are businesses with a sole purpose...to make money!
