Each course is 3 days in length, where the first 2 days focus on the theoretical knowledge and the 3rd day is dedicated to practical drone flying.

After completing our Drone Operator Course (DOC) you will be a licensed drone operator. The categories you can operate within depends on your Operations Manual and the approvals you apply for with the authorities after graduating from this course.
