Drone training course in Ireland

Obtain EASA's drone remote pilot licence completely online. We designed this drone training course for hobby and professional pilots to fly drones in the Open Category A2 in Ireland and any of the EASA member states. In Open Category A2, you can fly drones up to 30m distance of an uninvolved person and down to 5m from an uninvolved person operating in a low-speed mode if the drone has the appropriate Class Identification Marking (currently not available on the open market). We comprehensively cover what you can and can’t do if you fly a “legacy” drone or a drone that does not have a Class identification marking.

During this course, we will cover these subjects:

Meteorology; Unmanned Aircraft System's (UAS) flight performance; Technical and operational mitigations for ground risk.

On the completion of this training, you will be able to:

  • Find, read and accurately interpret weather forecasts before undertaking each flight.
  • Understand the basic principles of flight, determine maximum payloads and assess the battery condition when operating their UAS.
  • Safely pilot the UAV in the correct geographical area, avoid uninvolved people and avoid the typical hazards on every flight they make.
