COMMON QUESTIONS
BEFORE YOU ENROLL
Most Academy courses don’t require a TC license — they’re skills training, not pilot certification. But you’ll need your TC Basic or Advanced certification to legally operate drones commercially. Visit our Certification page if you need that first.
Online courses are self-paced. Corporate cohorts and instructor-led training are scheduled with our team.
Self-paced online courses include lifetime access to the course materials.
Online courses are designed for individual self-paced study. Corporate cohorts are scoped, instructor-led training programs tailored to a team’s equipment, workflows, and goals.
Courses may include a certificate of completion. This does not replace Transport Canada pilot certification.
Contact the Academy team for course support. Instructor-led options are available for teams that need additional guidance.
