I have had the pleasure of collaborating with UAVAIR over the past 4 years as part of the Drone program at our school, and I cannot speak highly enough of them. Their communication skills are impeccable, making it easy to stay informed and engaged throughout the program for both students and teachers. It is evident that UAVAIR genuinely care about the success and outcomes of students, going above and beyond to provide support and guidance.
Furthermore, their extensive knowledge of the aviation industry is truly impressive. The trainers at UAVAIR are experts in their field, delivering high-quality education and training that is both informative and engaging. Working with UAVAIR has been a seamless and enjoyable experience, thanks to their professionalism and dedication to student success.
I highly recommend UAVAIR to any school looking to further the education of their students in the aviation industry. Their commitment to excellence and exceptional trainers make them a standout choice for remote pilot training.
Thank you, UAVAIR, for your outstanding service and support over the years.

How did you find the course? The course was a great balance of content difficulty level. It was a very hands on and logical process and a great way to apply knowledge taught in the course.

How will or has it helped you in gaining employment or further education? This will help me in my further education as I wish to go onto studying aerospace engineering at university and by completing the course, I have gained knowledge I would otherwise not have in the aerospace industry. Also this course has also helped me gain casual employment, this year as an RPAS junior instructor.

Why did you do the course? To add to my resume, and expand my experience in an interesting and developing field. Additionally, I completed the course to grant myself possibilities and potential careers in the future – and to challenge myself by engaging with technologies and systems I had no prior experience with.
How did you find the course? The course was a consistently engaging yet challenging experience, with both theory and practical components consistently being rewarding and enjoyable. Assessments presented information I already knew and information I had to learn. The group of students that I completed it with, as well as our incredible instructor, resulted in the course being my favourite part of my high school experience.
What did you get out of the course? My Certificate III in Aviation (Remote Pilot), plus my RePL and AROC. Furthermore, the practical experience I gained in both the maintenance and utilization of RPAs throughout a variety of contexts is invaluable.
How will or has it helped you in gaining employment or further education? I am yet to pursue a career in the field, as I am still completing my high school education. However, I plan to utilise my Certificate III to expand my abilities throughout a variety of potential fields, such as the film industry.
Would you recommend this course to others? I would recommend this course to any student interested in technology, aviation or related fields. The course allows for a great understanding of all aspects related to aeronautical operations, and opens up a variety of practical opportunities and potential future careers. Furthermore, the course itself presents fun and engaging content, and allows ample opportunities to connect and develop friendships with peers, and the wonderful instructors.

Through school I had the opportunity to do a Certificate III in Aviation (Remote Pilot) which I chose to do because of my passion for aviation and my goal of becoming a pilot. The course had a lot of content and required commitment, but as my passion is aviation it was really enjoyable. The instructor (Alistair Sim) was very helpful so if I was ever unsure on a topic, I could easily get extra help to have a better understanding of the content and also expand my knowledge on anything Aviation related.
By the end of year 10 I had received a Certificate III in Aviation and also completed my RePL (Remote Pilot Licence) and AROC (Aeronautical Radio Operator Certificate).
I would definitely recommend this certificate through UAVAIR to anyone interested in aviation. Not only did I learn about drones, I learnt a lot about the Aviation industry and important skills such as having good situational awareness and study habits which will be very helpful in the coming years.

I chose the course to better my knowledge of drones and help me start my own drone photography company. The course was a mix of difficult and easy but was always enjoyable to go to. In this course, I got my Certificate III in Aviation (Remote Pilot) and the opportunity to do my RePL & AROC which I completed. I will use all of the things I learnt to start my own RPAS company/business. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in this topic as not only is it fun but it will also come with quite a few perks to help you expand your knowledge
