Yes. Under the FAA’s Part 107 rules, anyone flying a small drone for work or business needs a Remote Pilot Certificate. To get one you must be at least 16 years old, able to read, speak, write and understand English, and pass the FAA Unmanned Aircraft General – Small (UAG) knowledge test at an FAA-approved Knowledge Testing Center. You then apply through IACRA and complete a TSA security check.

The UAG knowledge test has 60 questions, a two-hour time limit and a passing score of 70 percent. You take it at an FAA-approved Knowledge Testing Center, not during our class. If you do not pass, FAA rules allow a retest after 14 calendar days.

Request training online or call 1.818.255.0406. Choose the training you want and a preferred timeframe, and tell us your location. We then send a payment link, and once payment is complete you receive a confirmation email for your scheduled training.

If you do not pass the FAA Part 107 exam after completing our training, we will either refund your training fee or retrain you at no additional cost.
