Commercial Drone Training - Twin Cities

This is a two-day experience that will prepare you for the FAA Remote Pilot Certificate exam, allowing you to fly drones for work or business. You will learn everything necessary to pass your FAA test and start flying your drone commercially.

• 12 hours of engaging in-person training.
• Lunch is provided.
• Free access to our online video course.
• All books, maps, and study guides that you need.

• Twin Cities Drone School reserves the right to cancel the class if enrollment targets are not met.
• No cancellations within one week of the class.
• This class does not include FAA examination fees. You must schedule the exam separately, at an authorized FAA testing center, and additional fees may apply. We'll walk through this process during the class. Typical fees are $175 for the test.

Much of the class covers material that current, certificated pilots should already know. If you have a current flight review, you can obtain your Remote Pilot Certificate by taking a free online course from the FAA. If you do not have a current flight review, you will need to pass the same written test that non-pilots take to obtain your Remote Pilot Certificate. If you'd like a refresher of your aeronatuical knowledge and also want to learn the new FAR 107, consider taking the class.

Past students who have taken the test within a week or two have been able to pass the test with good scores. However, mileage may vary depending on the amount of effort you put in, and we do not guarantee that you will pass the test. Plan to spend about five hours studying on your own after the class.

Yes, In addition to passing the knowledge test, you must be at least 16 years old; able to read, speak, and write the English language; and pass a TSA security check (the FAA performs the TSA check when you apply for the certificate and there is no additional fee for this).
