FLY TRAINED.
FLY CERTIFIED.
A full RPAS academy — from your first sub‑2kg flight through to Chief Remote Pilot — plus dedicated school‑leaver pathways that turn students into qualified, work‑ready commercial pilots.
RPAS CERTIFICATION
PROGRESSION.
A full CASA‑aligned ladder from first flight to Chief Remote Pilot. Each program blends theory, simulator, and logged flight — issuing the qualifications commercial operators need to fly legally and safely.

- Lighting & orientation
- Thermal navigation
- Night currency
Chief Remote Pilot (CRP)
Advanced operator course for Chief Remote Pilots leading commercial RPAS teams — procedures, safety management systems, and regulatory governance.
- Safety management
- Procedures & SMS
- Team governance
- ReOC alignment
SCHOOLS THAT
LAUNCH PILOTS.
A structured pathway for schools to train their school leavers into a real drone career — from VETiS Certificate II through to a work‑ready Certificate III and a direct line into commercial RPAS work.
We partner with the school and map delivery to timetables and VETiS funding.
Students complete safety induction, theory starters, and a flight simulation check.
Logged simulator and real‑world flight training across the school year or holiday blocks.
School leavers exit with a recognisable certificate and a direct path to commercial RePL.
Certificate II in Aviation (Drone Pilot)
A nationally recognised VETiS pathway — Year 11 & 12 students complete introductory RPAS theory, simulator flight, and basic operations while still at school.
- Year 11–12 entry
- Intro RPAS theory
- Simulator flight hours
- Credit toward RePL
Certificate III Aviation (Remote Pilot)
The post‑school fast track — school leavers gain CASA‑aligned remote pilot theory and logged flight training toward a commercial RePL outcome.
- Post‑Year 12 cohort
- RePL pathway
- Logged flight training
- Work‑ready outcome
School Holiday Fast‑Track
Intensive 3‑day holiday programs that take students from first flight to sub‑2kg competence — a taster that opens the door to a certified pathway.
- 3‑day blocks
- Sub‑2kg category
- No experience needed
- Pathway to RePL
School‑Based Traineeship
Structured traineeship pairing on‑the‑job placement with an operator alongside formal RPAS training and a certificate outcome for school leavers.
- On‑job placement
- Formal qualification
- Industry mentor
- Employment pathway
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY
LEARN.
Every program is built from the same core muscle — theory, platform, planning, specialist craft, and safety — delivered across classroom, simulator, and field.
Aeronautical Knowledge
Airspace classes, charts, METAR/TAF, density altitude, and human factors for remote pilots.
Aircraft Systems
Flight controllers, battery and power management, datalinks, failsafes, and payload integration.
Mission Planning & Mapping
Mission design, waypoint authoring, terrain, and survey‑grade photogrammetry workflows.
Waterway & Thermal Survey
Specialist careers — flood‑plain volumetrics, thermal inspection, and the techniques beyond the licence.
Safety & Emergency
Risk assessment, safety management systems, abnormal procedures, and incident reporting.
DELIVERY / FORMATS
Instructor‑led theory and exam prep at our base.
Hands‑on flight hours before you touch a real aircraft.
Logged flight training in real terrain and weather.
Evening, weekend, and school‑holiday block delivery.
