This company was great to work with! They were very quick in responding to all questions and any issues that I had. Alan personally contacted me on multiple occasions, and he is possibly the most honest respresentative of a company that I have met! They were prompt and professional. The program is very well set up.

Passed the exam on my first attempt at 88%. The course was very detailed and very similar to the FAA administered exam. Practice test are key to success. I found the practice exams to be more difficult than the actual exam so I was very prepared for the actual exam. Overall a good class with very detailed content will recommend to friends and family.

Company Response

Jack, congrats on passing the exam! Great to hear that you felt well prepared. We appreciate your recommending us to others.

I was quite intimidated thinking about all the things I needed to learn to get a Part 107 Remote Pilot certification having absolutely no prior experience with aviation. I did some research online and found Drone Pilot Ground School was highly recommended. I had no prior knowledge of FAA rules, drone safety procedures or regulations. I had never had heard of a METAR, TFR, NOTAM or read a Sectional Chart. I signed up for the class Saturday night and passed the FAA's Airman Knowledge Test 4 days later on Wednesday afternoon. I was issued a temporary Remote Pilot certification by the FAA the following Monday. So a total of 9 days from deciding to get a license to having one in hand thanks to Drone Pilot Ground School. I found the information presented in the videos and course literature extremely valuable, easy to understand and interesting to digest. I feel much more confident about how to operate in a safe and legal way as I fly my drone moving forward. I have since reached out to some local drone enthusiasts and found that I actually have a better understanding of many issues regarding airspace concerns, ATC authorizations and other regulatory issues covered in the Drone Pilot Ground School's program and they have been flying for years. The questions and curriculum covered in the class ties in almost verbatim to the questions presented on the exam. I felt well prepared and confident as I took the test. The FAA test had 60 questions pulled from a pool of questions, and you are given two hours to complete the test. I completed the test with confidence in less than 30 minutes and missed 4 questions. Of the 4 questions I missed, two were about parachuting and one was poorly written question about terrain and section charts, if I had simply answered it the way Drone Pilot Ground School prepared me to answer it I would have been fine, but instead I felt it was a trick question and over thought the answer... Fly safe and feel confident, use Drone Pilot Ground School to prepare you for the FAA exam and good flying habits. I strongly recommend this course!

I strongly recommend anyone looking to get their part 107 to purchase this course! The instructor Alan is very good explaining the subject and easy to understand. After few weeks of studying. I had managed to get on the phone and schedule the test.

Very good videos, content was certification relevant. I watched each lecture and took notes and took the time to read thru the video content hard copies. The course and my training prep prepared me well for my certification. Lifetime availability of the information sealed the deal (sUAS FAA Cert's are 2 year renewable). Thank you for providing us with this great product!

Company Response

Hi Tom, thank you for your review! We offer the videos along with the video transcripts since some folks learn by watching and others learn by reading -- glad you found both to be useful. Best of luck!

Drone pilot ground school covered the regulations associated with UAS in a manner that made learning easy. Being a Student Pilot prior to this course, I had prior knowledge of the airspace system. Even still, the review of that knowledge helped with my other aviation endeavors and helped me pass on the first try.

Company Response

Holden, congrats on passing the exam and thanks for choosing us to help you along the way!

I really enjoyed the class overall, and it was very effective. They did a great job of making all the information clear, organized, and easy to understand without being unbearably dry. There were two notable aspects to me: 1. Having access to multiple practice tests was very helpful to find weak spots in my studying. 2. Being able to call or email an actual human being was very helpful for questions--I'm very impressed at how quickly they responded.

I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone looking to prepare for their Part 107 Knowledge Test.

Just wanted to share with you that I passed my Part 107 test this afternoon. Scored a 93%.

Thank you for your Drone Pilot Ground School course. Excellent set of lectures and information. Alan's concise way of teaching is exactly what worked for me. The practice tests were fantastic. I took each of them at least a couple times, scoring 90%+ . I purchased the Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement from Amazon, which I think helped a lot. Made me feel much more comfortable during the test to be familiar with the hard copy of the supplement.

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.
