If you're here, you're probably trying to decide whether to invest in Drone U as your drone training school. So, allow us to tell you a little bit about us to help you in your decision-making process.
Although we are one of the world’s largest, most thorough online drone training schools, offering thousands of hours of helpful, organized content, this may honesty not be our greatest value to you. In fact, we are often told that our greatest tool isn’t even something we’ve created as a course at all. That’s because it’s our extremely active, helpful, and committed online community of drone pilots that are constantly asking and answering questions. The ability to sharpen each other as drone pilots is alone worth being a member of Drone U.
These courses, videos, podcast, blogs, and resources are all specifically designed to help you hone your piloting skills, grow a business, master flight operations, advance your service offerings, and take your photography and videography to next levels.
As a drone pilot yourself, you’ve surely seen first-hand how fast this industry continues to evolve and change. In order to stay ahead of this accelerated curve (and your competition), you must make sure you’re consuming the most helpful and impactful information that will simultaneously lower your learning curve with equal speed. This is exactly what we’ve worked diligently to create here at Drone U, a thriving community with a powerful training platform that is packed full of expert courses, tools, and resources created by drone pilots for drone pilots so you can learn efficiently, at your pace, without needlessly wasting time and money.
Maybe even more (even most) importantly, Drone U’s community will help you stay inspired, motivated, and engaged. Let’s face it, discouragement and overwhelm are a part of life, especially if you are running a small business. That’s why we believe wholeheartedly that it’s not just about taking a class and moving on to figure the rest out by yourself. Instead, it’s about truly retaining the information your learning through continual practice and engagement so you can best utilize and apply the resources of Drone U and our community while you’re in the field. Look at us as your “behind the scenes” team, the place you can always go to for insight, clarification, strength, momentum, encouragement, and ideas so you can keep progressing forward.
This is why we say Drone U isn’t just an online drone school, but more of a hands-on, in-person flight school boasting an incredible community of people, pilots, courses, and resources.
So, if you’re looking for face-to-face, one-on-one training also then check out our flagship Flight Mastery class, as one example. This training will help you gain more confidence and experience so you can overcome any emergencies you might deal with in the field. Plus, going through this training will also qualify you for an educational discount on your drone insurance! What training can you say actually pays for itself over time?! And know that all our in-person trainings will give you the practical tools and belief you need to go back and implement all that you’ve learned.
Plus, as a Drone U member, you’ll get additional discounts to any of our in-person trainings, any time you need them!
Don’t forget that you can also get your Part 107 certificate from us as well. The value of our Part 107 training is unlike anywhere else because you also get access to EVERYTHING on our training platform, including the community! As fellow pilots, we know how important this is because passing the FAA exam does not equal a successful business. You must understand operations, habits, and routines, and how to turn those into repeatable, scalable systems that create efficient workflows, maximum revenue, and minimal inefficiency so you work smarter, not harder.
Get into Drone U today, get started on our courses, get engaged with the community, get all the resources you need, and get your insurance discounts right now!
Don’t just take our word for it. Check out some of the reviews from our Raving Fans below. On your way, watch this video to take a deeper look into what makes Drone U so different…

After joining another online drone school with a multi-thousand dollar enrollment cost, I was completely disappointed in the lack of information and resources I was offered. I stumbled upon Drone U and figured I didn’t have anything besides a few bucks to loose with their considerably lower price point. Needless to say, I was blown away, and 18 months of membership later I haven’t looked back. The online video courses, which are continually expanding, are professionally produced and offer valuable information found nowhere else online. That, paired with the private Facebook community full of members and instructors with real-world experience and an invaluable wealth of knowledge make Drone U a powerhouse of knowledge for both the new-comer, as well as those with extensive experience in the production world.

The on-line webinars were entertaining and filled with an enormous amount of valuable information found only in one place, from Drone U. Although I am an experienced pilot, I learned a tremendous amount of specific information that far exceeded what I could have found searching the internet. Each webinar was focused on specific topics and presented in an organized way so as to make the learning experience progressively more intense as knowledge was gained. Without question I would highly recommend participating as a student at Drone U if you are a seasoned pilot and more importantly as a new pilot. The Drone U is the only place to acquire the necessary knowledge and skill required to be confident proficient and safe pilot." Read Less

"I am rather new to the Drone game. Within the time I have been in the Drone U program, I have taken my flying to the complete next level. Not just the flight, but the tricks to getting the most out of my remote too! Within the time I have been involved with Drone U, I have also landed my first two contracts and have established relationships with people in the construction and real-estate businesses, that are extremely interested in what I can provide for them. Drone U has definitely helped me take my Drone addiction from a very cool toy, to a money making business." Read Less

"Signing up to Drone U has been one of my smarter business decisions. Their team and the community has been nothing short of spectacular in terms of knowledge transfer and guidance. Knowledge is power and this holds especially true for the UAV community in these trying times as regulations are constantly changing and a general sense of confusion plaques our industry. The Drone You team helped me enlighten my clients on the current regulations and put their mind at ease about the service we all provide. I’ve recommended a subscription to The Drone U to all my colleagues! Thanks to everyone involved!" Read Less

"Drone U offers a comprehensive overview of drone ownership, use and operation that I have been unable to find online. Even more valuable is the individualized attention that you get including specific answers to questions from experts you trust. I learned a great amount of information and was challenged to put what I learned to use through practice and flight drills. I would recommend Drone U to anyone who wishes to take their drone use to a professional level." Read Less
