Drone Pilot Ground Schools offers: 

70+ Video/Text Lectures – Photographers can access a curriculum built in partnership with a Gold Seal Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) and former Chief Pilot of a Part 141 Flight School to align directly with the FAA's remote pilot certification requirements.

5 Practice Tests & 1:1 Support – Preparation for the Part 107 Aeronautical Knowledge Test is accessed online with lecture quizzes and 5 full-length practice tests. Personal support is available via phone and email.

Flight Proficiency Training - While flight proficiency isn't required by the FAA, Drone Pilot Ground School holds students to a higher standard. Diplomas will be given upon passing the flight proficiency challenge.

Money-Back Guarantee – Drone Pilot Ground School covers the testing fee (normally $150) if their student does not pass the FAA test after taking their course. With a 99%+ success rate, this rarely happens, but they have their student's backs in case it does.

Lifetime Access - To keep one's license, a drone pilot needs to pass a recurrent FAA knowledge test every 24 months. Drone Pilot Ground School students get lifetime access to the online training course, which is updated regularly with the industry.
