How On Campus
Do you want to become a remote pilot of an aircraft? Technology has advanced to bring a new era of piloting that can improve the efficiency and safety of almost every industry you could wish to work in.
A drone is a robotic aircraft controlled remotely and drone piloting has become an in-demand skill that can open the door to many rapidly evolving fields. Gain skills for roles such as a Commercial Licensed Drone Pilot, which is integral to performing many important operations requiring an ‘eye in the sky.’
Drones can facilitate the delivery of medical and food supplies to remote areas and assist in emergencies such as bushfires or shark spotting and military support. The agricultural, mining, oil and gas industries use drones for surveying and wildlife conservation, and drones also have high creative capability for photography for weddings and tourism.
Please note: this is a professional qualification and not a recreational qualification; this course provides you with training to legally operate a remotely piloted aircraft. This qualification will also permit you to fly without many of the operating restrictions applied to recreational users.
- command a sub two-kilogram drone aircraft
