Yes. For commercial operations and to fly any drone in India (except for very specific, low-risk nano categories in uncontrolled airspace), you require a Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC) issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Our training course is designed to make you thoroughly prepared for the DGCA's requirements and to successfully obtain this mandatory license.

Our DGCA-compliant training program is intensive and efficient. The standard course typically runs for 5 to 10 days, covering both the mandatory theoretical knowledge and the hands-on flight training required to qualify for the Remote Pilot Certificate.

You will gain comprehensive knowledge and practical skills as per DGCA guidelines, includingIndian Drone Rules & Regulations, Aeronautical Knowledge, Flight Operations, Safety and Emergency Procedures.

Yes, we do. We offer strong placement support which includes career guidance, help in building your professional profile, and access to our network of partner companies. These partners operate in sectors like infrastructure monitoring, agriculture, mining, filmmaking, and surveying, where certified drone pilots are in high demand.

You will receive hands-on training on a variety of small category industrial drones.

The Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC) issued by the DGCA is the official license for operating drones in India. While other countries have their own aviation authorities (like the FAA in the U.S. or EASA in Europe), the core knowledge and skills you learn are universal. Our certification demonstrates a high standard of training and will be a strong foundation if you pursue additional licenses in other countries, which may require a local law examination.

The course fee is competitive and covers all essential training materials and practical sessions.
