The West End is buzzing with activity as iDroneTrain introduces drone licence and training courses to meet the escalating demand for skilled drone operators across various sectors.
The programmes equip participants with the expertise and certifications to operate drones in agriculture, construction, and surveying.
The expansion of drone use in commercial and recreational settings has underscored the need for professional training that adheres to regulations. iDroneTrain’s courses cover all facets of drone operation, including safety protocols, regulatory compliance, and practical flying experience.
The offerings include the remote pilot licence (RePL), which applies to drones up to 25 kilogrammes, and the aeronautical radio operator certificate (AROC), which is mandatory for specific operations.
The comprehensive training encompasses flight theory, air law, and hands-on flying skills, guaranteeing that participants meet Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) standards. Students will also acquire technical knowledge on emergency procedures, flight planning, and legal flying conditions, including restricted airspace management.
iDroneTrain owner Div Bedi highlighted the increasing need for certified drone operators in industries prioritising precision and safety. This need has driven the development of these courses. Each programme is tailored to meet CASA regulations while imparting practical skills to individuals with varying levels of experience in drone operation.
The courses offer practical training through real-world scenarios, ensuring participants develop confidence in managing drones in diverse environmental conditions. Seasoned professionals with aviation and drone technology backgrounds provide instruction, covering all aspects of safe drone operation.
Looking ahead, iDroneTrain has plans to expand its course offerings. Div Bedi indicated that future courses will address specialised areas such as search and rescue, thermal imaging, and agricultural surveying. The objective is to prepare operators for the complex demands of emerging drone applications.
The new training programmes arrive when industries like infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring, and land surveying increasingly rely on drone technology. These sectors require operators with the appropriate certification and practical knowledge to navigate regulatory frameworks and safely conduct drone operations.
Situated at 97 Boundary Street, West End, Brisbane, iDroneTrain provides flexible course schedules, experienced instructors, and a strong emphasis on regulatory compliance and safety. The programmes cater to the increasing demand for qualified drone operators in Australia.
