Conversions!!
 

Hello,
I'm new to the forum, and I just have a few questions that I would like to ask, I am looking at doing an integrated flying course in South Africa with Progress Flight Academy, it will cost with flights there and medical just shy of 30k, I want to come back to the UK to fly commercially, a job on the cards already (just hour building really).
What I would like to know is do I have to convert my licence to a UK CPL from an SA CPL? I have done some research and I have hit a brick wall.:ugh:

How much will it cost and is there a quick way to do it?

Thanks

This seems to cover it:-

Commercial Pilot Flight Training, CPL, Flying Lessons, Stapleford Flight Centre, London, UK

And this for the ground exams

Yes you will have to convert. You will need an EASA CPL, so you can convert in any European country that is a member of EASA.

Conversion costs will vary depending on the country of choice, but you can budget from €10,000 to €17,000.
