Community Training
We consult with grass-roots community leaders. At the start, a local individual with community ties and investment is identified as the Community Lead who then forms a Team. It’s important to listen to what the Community wants and needs. We begin drone education and networking to form a Drone-Ready Community Plan. Trained licensed Remote Pilot Educators train the workforce and businesses for jobs that can use drone skills and are needed for economic growth in the community.
Our training leads licensed Remote Pilots to jobs paying between $15/HR and $500/Hr. Graduates can leverage these new drone skills in pursuit of jobs and/or entrepreneurship. We connect with chambers, businesses and governmental agencies through partnerships to get communities ready to fly. [Drone skills are a subset of the low to medium digital skills that 70% of US jobs require.]
Using remote pilot training and drone project consulting, our goal is to mobilize drone-ready communities so that no one is left behind. For more information, contact Nita Black, (901)413-1315, info@thedronecompany.com.
To help you learn how to fly, we use online curriculum, personal mentoring, simulated and in-person flight training and even games like the one we created here.
Remote Pilot Training
This is our signature program for new Drone pilots. It includes prep for the FAA Part 107 Licensure test, simulator practice, and live Drone flight with experienced UAV Pilots. We have a Youth Program of 16 – 19-year-olds, currently attending high school, and an Adult Program of 18+ year-olds, in college, employed or seeking employment.
Employee Training
We provide test prep and training for professionals to employers who want their teams ready for Drone flight. Many employers have already purchased and deployed drones in the workplace, but find they need more Licensed FAA Part 107 UAV PIlots. This course is an excellent program to get your entire team licensed and provide professional experience.
Private Coach
Private coaches are available for those who are experienced or new Drone Pilots. This training will help students increase proficiency and/or find their place in the world of “Drone Work.” We also advise students on the best Drone purchase to accomplish the required work.
