A Comprehensive, Student-Focused Drone Training Program

I recently completed the drone pilot ground school course offered by UAV Coach, and I am beyond impressed with the quality of the training. As someone deeply involved in the aerospace sector, I found the course not only prepares you for the Part 107 test but also lays the foundation for becoming a competent and safe drone pilot.

Course Content and Structure

The course is meticulously designed, covering everything you need to know for the Part 107 exam. The modules are well-organized and easy to follow, providing a comprehensive understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects of drone piloting. I was able to score 97% on my Part 107 test, and I attribute much of my success to this program.

Beyond the Exam

What sets UAV Coach apart is the wealth of additional resources they offer to students. From skill-building exercises for flying a drone to guides on finding a job as a drone pilot, the platform provides holistic training that goes beyond merely passing an exam.

Responsiveness

I was particularly impressed with how responsive the team was to student needs. Every query I had was answered promptly, and the guidance was always spot-on. It's evident that UAV Coach is genuinely invested in student success.

As someone who is exploring AI applications to advance drone missions, I can attest that this course has been invaluable in sharpening my skills and deepening my understanding of drone technology.

I wholeheartedly recommend UAV Coach to anyone looking to become a certified drone pilot or looking to advance their skills in the industry.

Reasons for buying:

The course is well-organized with solid content, has a great presentation style, and has great reviews.

I found Drone Pilot Ground School to be very easy to navigate. The lessons were broke up into easily digestible segments. This was handy later as I took the pre-tests they included multiple times and would go back to these segments to review the information provided. I pass the FAA exam on the first try using the knowledge I gained from this school. If you're wanting to get your UAS pilots license, do not hesitate to use Drone Pilot Ground School!

Reasons for buying:

I only researched a few other options and I preferred the way the information was laid out and the information they provide, both before and after you pass the test.

This course/School is a great way to obtain your Part 107 sUAS Credentials. I would recommend Drone Pilot Ground School to anyone who is serious about passing their FAA test. I found the modules very precise with the information YOU NEED and nothing else. 9 days of study and I scored a 88% my first attempt. Thank you DPGS!

Drone Pilot Ground School made the study process for the FAA Part 107 exam really, really easy. The information in the course is so detailed and thorough I felt completely confident going into the exam that I had what I needed to do well, and I did great! After taking several of the practice exams through DPGS, I scored higher on the actual exam than I did on the practice tests. And I can say that I learned some terrific information that will help me be a better pilot and professional. Thanks!

Reasons for buying:

When I was researching my choices, I found that DPGS had the most comprehensive offering.

I am extremely happy I chose to go with Drone Pilot Ground School. Thanks to this course, I passed my Airmen Knowledge Test for the Part 107 certification on the first try with a score of 90%. The way they have it set up with the video modules, minor practice tests at the end of most of them and bigger practice tests to go over different things you've learned along the way made it so easy to get through. The best part of all was that I was able to do it at my own pace. I really took my time, went through all the modules, and once I was done, I went over most of them again just to refresh everything I had learned before I went to take my real test. Even doing that, it only took me about a week to get through it all.

I highly recommend anyone who wanting to get the Part 107 certification prepare to do so with the help of this course. I have a work associate who saw that I passed my test and was asking if I could help him out by explaining a few things in regards to reading a sectional chart. He said the course he signed up for didn't explain everything very thoroughly, so of course I referred him to this course. It's that good!

Thank you Drone Pilot ground school!

Reasons for buying:

Although the price was a little higher than others, this course seemed more legit than other available options. In the end it was worth every penny!

I really enjoyed the course while learning what was needed to safely fly a drone and pass the FAA exam. The videos and attached notes were very useful. The practice exams brought it all together. It took me a little over a week from start to passing the exam. A very good and positive experience. I would highly recommend this course to all future drone pilots.

Reasons for buying:

I saw their advertisement along with other drone schools. Their course description looked like it would be a good fit for me. The Labor Day sale was the final decision maker.

For me to retain information, I need to absorb it several ways: visual, verbal, writing. This course offered all of that! The videos break everything into relatively short chunks with short quizzes after. You can keep repeating quizzes, or immediately see the explanation for why you missed the question. The practice tests were right on point! I was worried that these were just random questions they were guessing would be on the test. Nope! Some of the questions were exactly what I found on the practice tests. And for the others, UAG Coach uses some of the same tricky language I found on the official test. But I was prepared for it!! Took the practice test three times with scores of 77%, 92% and 92% (some of the questions were repeats, so that accounted for the higher score). The important thing: I passed the official test on my first try with a score of 88%! Thank you Drone Pilot Ground School!

Reasons for buying:

I chose Drone Pilot Ground School because of its excellent reviews, and it just seemed more polished and professional than other options out there.

I PASSED !
All in all I would say I was well prepared and confident. I certainly will say that the course prepared me well. I cannot imagine trying to learn the material on my own. Alan's video lectures were easy to follow and very informative. Mike was there for me. It has been a fun learning experience that I have thoroughly enjoyed.

I wish to thank Alan and Mike for providing me with a fun and productive learning experience.

Except on YouTube I have never seen a drone. I have ordered a DJI Air 3 and will fly it soon with my course provided instructor.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?

Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.

Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.

As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:

Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.

Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.

So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
