The Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT), Zaria, runs specialised aviation courses rather than a single flat school fee, and per-course prices have risen sharply in the last two years as training costs in naira terms climbed.
Figures circulating from older schedules, such as a Standard Pilot Course at ₦7,500,000, are badly out of date. NCAT’s own course pages now quote considerably higher amounts for flight training.
How Much Is NCAT School Fees?
These figures are confirmed directly from NCAT’s own course pages, so they’re the ones we’re most confident in:
| Course | Fee (Excludes Accommodation & Feeding) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Pilot Course | ₦12,838,110 | 2 Years |
| Private Pilot Licence | ₦6,509,440 | 6 Months |
| Aeronautical Telecommunication Engineering Diploma | ₦1,122,000 | 93 Weeks |
| Computer Networking | ₦120,000 | 2 Weeks |
| Computer Installations, Maintenance and Repairs | ₦120,000 | 2 Weeks |
NCAT runs dozens of other short courses across Air Traffic Services, Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, and Aviation Management, each individually priced. Rather than republish a long list that’s likely to go stale again, check the specific course’s own page on ncat.gov.ng, or the college’s current course calendar PDF, for the exact fee before applying.
How to Pay NCAT School Fees
All payments go through NCAT’s Treasury Single Account via Remita. Log in at remita.net, select Pay FGN and State TSA, then choose FGN: Federal Government of Nigeria.
Search AVIATION, select Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, pick your course and enter the amount due. Submit to generate a Remita Retrieval Reference, pay through any bank or card channel, then take the transaction receipt to the NCAT revenue office for an official receipt.

NCAT doesn’t publish a single flat acceptance fee separate from course fees; confirm whether your specific course requires one, and the exact amount, with the admissions office once you’re offered a slot.

How Far NCAT Flight Training Has Outrun Older Figures
The Standard Pilot Course now stands at ₦12,838,110 against the ₦7,500,000 still quoted in older schedules, a rise of more than five million naira. Anyone budgeting from a cached figure is working several million short.
Flight training is also in a different league from the ground courses. The Private Pilot Licence costs ₦6,509,440 for six months, while the Aeronautical Telecommunication Engineering diploma runs ₦1,122,000 across 93 weeks.
Short technical courses sit lower again. Computer Networking and Computer Installations, Maintenance and Repairs are each ₦120,000 for two weeks, which makes them an accessible entry point into the college.
None of these totals includes accommodation or feeding, both billed separately by course and duration. Confirm your own course page on ncat.gov.ng before paying, since each course is priced individually and revised independently.
We’ll update this page as NCAT revises its published course fees for 2026/2027.
