Everything an officer with zero flight background needs to sit the FAA Part 107 knowledge test with confidence — plus the program-setup material a generic Part 107 class skips entirely.
Any sworn or civilian member of a law enforcement, fire, EMS, or emergency management agency who needs a Remote Pilot Certificate. No prior flight experience is assumed or required. If your department is standing up a drone program from nothing, this is the starting point.
It is also the right course for a department that already owns a drone but has nobody legally cleared to fly it for official duties — a more common situation than most agencies admit.
Three days, roughly eight hours each. The first two days are exam preparation. The third is the part almost nobody else teaches: turning a certificate into a functioning agency program.
Note that the FAA knowledge test itself is administered at an approved testing center, not by us. We prepare you for it; scheduling and sitting the exam is a separate step, and we walk you through how to do it.
The course runs on-site at a host agency's facility. The host provides a classroom that seats the group with a projector or large display; we bring the instruction and the course materials.
This course is classroom-based exam preparation. No aircraft is required — you do not need to own a drone to take it, and nobody flies during the three days.
Capped at 16 students. The cap is the point: live Q&A and worked scenarios only function in a room where every question gets answered.
Course materials and practice exam resources are provided.
We travel. Most sessions run at a host agency's own facility rather than on a public calendar. The hosting agency receives two free seats, in addition to any seats they pay for.
