Executive Summary:
The UAS Basic Pilots Course is 32 hours of instruction designed specifically and ONLY for agencies with an established UAS program and flying missions with protocols and a comprehensive policy in place. The curriculum focuses on piloting skills and training in UAS safety and general UAS program operations. Training begins online with FAA Part 107 test preparation, culminating with an in-class test review and test scheduling assistance.

Successful students will return to their respective organizations as trained operators.
