Before you go would you mind providing your feedback?
This training was designed from the ground up by a retired police officer and successful commercial drone pilot. I was one of the first people in the US to become certified under Part 107. I scored 100% on my recurrent exam so I know what it takes to achieve success and pass this exam. My style of teaching is down to earth. I am not here to talk over your head, I explain complicated concepts in easy to understand terms.
You will need to to schedule your exam at an authorized FAA testing center. Once you pass the exam and complete the online application process you should receive your temporary certificate within a week. At that point you can legally operate as a commercial drone pilot. You will receive your Remote Pilot Credential in the mail in 4-6 weeks. This process is described in detail in the course.
Anyone looking to use a drone for anything other than recreational purposes including: Emergency Government, Police, Fire, Rescue, First Responders, Land conservationists, GIS specialists, Photographers, Real Estate Agents/Photographers, Construction Contractors, Insurance Adjusters, Roofing Contractors, Utility, Tower Inspectors, Farmers
There are many online resources available for you to study but many of these sources contain incorrect or outdated information. The information you will need to pass the Part 107 exam is not found in one place. The documents and books you’ll need to study contain hundreds of pages of text and charts. You’ll have to figure out which materials are relevant to the test. The whole process can be overwhelming unless you know what to focus your attention on. I've spent years refining and updating this program so you will receive the most current information.
If you complete this course and fail the FAA's remote pilot exam, I will refund up to $160 (the cost to retake the exam). I will also provide up to 1 hour of tutoring online via Zoom to help you prepare to retake the exam. Proof of 100% completion of this course is required to be eligible for refund. The course software records the level of completion.
