Which RPAS Course is right for you?
Prospective students can enroll directly in either the Basic or Advanced RPAS Pilot course. You do not need to complete the Basic course before taking the Advanced course, provided you meet the eligibility requirements.
Basic RPAS Pilot Certificate
- Minimum age: 14 years
- Ideal for recreational flying and lower-risk drone operations.
Advanced RPAS Pilot Certificate
- Minimum age: 16 years
- Designed for pilots conducting more complex operations, including flights in controlled airspace and other operations not permitted under a Basic certificate, provided all Transport Canada requirements are met.
Choosing the right course depends on the type of drone operations you plan to perform. If you're unsure which option best suits your goals, our team is happy to help you decide.
