Candrone Complete RPAS Pilot Certification and Workflow Travel 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 in a single, structured program -- with travel to your site included.

• Everything required for Transport Canada Advanced certification in one package -- Self-paced online ground school, outdoor flight coaching, and an in-person flight review conducted by a Candrone certified reviewer are all included, covering every step the Advanced RPAS Pilot Certificate requires.
• Enterprise workflow training delivered where you operate -- A full day of hands-on equipment setup, data capture, and platform instruction at your site -- followed by a virtual GIS data processing session with a Candrone specialist -- prepares your team for real operational deployments, not just certification.
• Travel pre-calculated and included -- No surprise costs after purchase. Travel to your training site is factored into the bundle price so organisations can plan and budget with confidence.
• Scales from one person to a full crew -- Online ground school and the flight review are individual, while outdoor flight coaching accommodates up to two persons and enterprise workflow training supports up to five -- making this practical for both individual pilots and operational 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 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 job actually requires.

Travel to the customer's training site is pre-calculated and included. The customer is responsible for securing a safe and appropriate outdoor training field for the flight coaching and enterprise workflow sessions.

Best suited for:

• Individual professionals 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-scope training solution they can budget for and deliver without coordinating multiple providers

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 at a self-paced 16-hour format. The outdoor flight coaching session then builds practical skills from the ground up, so no prior flight experience is 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.

What aircraft is used for the enterprise workflow training? Enterprise workflow training covers the equipment and platform your organisation is deploying. 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 required.

Who is responsible for finding the training field? The customer is responsible for securing a safe, accessible outdoor site suitable for UAV flight training for both the outdoor flight coaching and enterprise workflow sessions. Our team can advise on what makes a suitable site -- contact us before booking if you need guidance.

Can the enterprise workflow session be split across multiple days or delivered remotely? The in-person enterprise workflow day is conducted on-site. 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.

Is travel included for all locations across Canada? Travel is pre-calculated and included in the bundle price based on your site location. Confirm your training site address with our team before purchase to ensure accurate travel costs are reflected in your quote.
