Candrone Complete RPAS Pilot Certification and Workflow Bundle

The Advanced RPAS Certification and Enterprise Workflow Training Bundle takes individuals and teams from ground school to Transport Canada Advanced certification and hands-on enterprise platform proficiency -- with all in-person sessions held at Candrone's dedicated examination field in Langley, BC.

• Everything required for Transport Canada Advanced certification in one place -- Self-paced online ground school, outdoor flight coaching, and an in-person flight review conducted by a Candrone certified reviewer are all included, with no separate venue to source or coordinate.
• In-person sessions at Candrone's Langley, BC examination field -- All outdoor training and flight review components are conducted at a known, pre-approved site -- removing the logistical burden of finding and securing a compliant training field.
• Enterprise workflow training goes beyond certification -- A full day of hands-on equipment setup, data capture, and platform instruction, followed by a virtual GIS data processing session with a Candrone specialist, prepares your team for real operational deployments on day one.
• Scales from one person to a full crew -- Online ground school and the flight review are individual, outdoor flight coaching accommodates up to two persons, and enterprise workflow training supports up to five -- practical for both solo pilots and teams building capability together.

Overview and Who It's For

The Advanced RPAS Certification and Enterprise Workflow Training Bundle is a complete, end-to-end training program for professionals and organisations that need pilots who are both Transport Canada Advanced certified and operationally ready to deploy enterprise drone systems in the field.

The bundle combines four components into one structured progression. Online ground school builds the regulatory and technical knowledge base at the student's own pace. Outdoor flight coaching translates that knowledge into real aircraft control and safe operation skills. The in-person flight review -- conducted by a Candrone certified reviewer -- satisfies the Transport Canada requirement for Advanced RPAS certification. Enterprise workflow training then takes certified pilots from compliant to competent on the specific platforms, data capture methods, and GIS processing workflows their role requires.

All in-person sessions are held at Candrone's dedicated examination field in Langley, BC. Students and teams attending from outside the Lower Mainland are responsible for their own travel and accommodation arrangements.

Best suited for:

• Individual professionals in British Columbia and the surrounding region seeking to move from uncertified to Advanced RPAS certified and enterprise platform-ready in a single coordinated program
• Organisations and teams onboarding new pilots or upskilling existing staff across public safety, forestry, mining, energy, inspection, or indigenous land management programs
• Operations managers and procurement leads who need a single-vendor, fixed-location training solution they can plan, budget, and schedule without coordinating multiple providers or venues

FAQs

Do I need any prior drone experience to enrol in this bundle? No. The online ground school is designed for students starting from the beginning, covering all Transport Canada knowledge requirements in approximately 16 hours of self-paced study. The outdoor flight coaching session builds practical skills from the ground up -- no prior flight experience is required or assumed.

What is the difference between Basic and Advanced RPAS certification? A Basic RPAS Pilot Certificate allows flight in uncontrolled airspace away from people under standard daylight conditions. Advanced certification unlocks operations near people, in controlled airspace, and under broader conditions -- required for most professional, municipal, and enterprise deployments. The flight review included in this bundle is the Transport Canada requirement for Advanced certification.

Where exactly are the in-person sessions held? All outdoor and in-person components are conducted at Candrone's dedicated examination field in Langley, BC. Students travelling from outside the Lower Mainland are responsible for arranging their own travel and accommodation.

What aircraft is used for the enterprise workflow training? Enterprise workflow training covers the equipment and platforms relevant to your operation. Contact our team before purchasing to confirm which aircraft and payload systems will be covered in your session and whether any specific platform preparation is needed in advance.

Can the enterprise workflow session be split across multiple days or delivered remotely? The in-person enterprise workflow day is conducted at the Langley field. The GIS data processing component is delivered separately in a virtual session with a Candrone GIS specialist. Contact our team if your organisation requires a customised delivery schedule.

Can I complete only the certification components without the enterprise workflow training? This bundle is structured as an all-in-one package. If you only require certification components or only enterprise training, contact our team to discuss which individual training products best fit your needs.
