The Candrone RPAS Training and Advanced Pilot Certification Bundle takes beginners from ground school to Transport Canada Advanced certification in one structured package - with all in-person sessions held at Candrone's examination field in Langley, BC.

• All in-person sessions at Candrone's Langley, BC field (no venue to arrange) - Outdoor training and your flight review take place at a dedicated, pre-approved examination site. Show up ready to fly.
• Built for beginners (no prior experience required) - The 16-hour self-paced ground school starts from the ground up, and the 4-hour outdoor coaching session builds practical skills before your review.
• Bring a training partner at no extra cost - The outdoor coaching session accommodates up to two persons per booking, making it practical for colleagues or teammates getting certified together.

Overview and Who It's For

The Candrone RPAS Training and Advanced Pilot Certification Bundle is a complete certification pathway for individuals who need their Transport Canada Advanced RPAS Pilot Certificate and are starting from no prior formal training. The bundle moves students through three steps in sequence: online ground school covering all TP-15263 knowledge requirements, a 4-hour hands-on outdoor coaching session at Candrone's Langley examination field, and a Transport Canada flight review conducted by a Candrone certified reviewer at the same location.

All in-person components are held at Candrone's dedicated examination field in Langley, BC. This bundle is available for candidates in the Greater Vancouver Region. No travel option is available -- customers outside the Lower Mainland should contact our team about the VEDTS option and confirm their nearest flight review contractor location before purchasing.
