I would venture to say that going from having not flown in over a year to being ready for 2 check rides in under 10 hours is not indicative of the masses, but I digress.
The summer academies will undoubtedly be busier than the winter academies for the obvious reasons, but I would plan at
least 30 days for most(unless you get your sign offs and do your check rides elsewhere)
