Discover Drone-enabled Possibilities!
Be among the first pilots in your region certified to use drones commercially. As of August 2016, FAA pilot certification is required of anyone operating a drone for business purposes.
Workforce Development’s 18-hour Introduction to Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) course instructs both hobbyists and professionals on how to fly drones safely and legally, prepare for the FAA certification test, and access new opportunities.
Our hands-on Knowledge-to-Action courseware gives advanced insight into the business and employment opportunities created by drones. Topics covered include flying multi-rotor and fixed-wing drones, indoor flight training, diverse flight systems, maintenance, registration and certification requirements, safety, insurance, industry applications, featured systems (DJI, 3DRobotics, etc.), emerging technologies, and the latest FAA policies.
The course includes a workbook, a quadcopter with camera and computer flight simulator with radio controller. Each student will participate in a Top Gun piloting competition and receive a training certificate upon completion of the course.
