Though it took about 3 months for me to study all the material and took the practice test probably 15 to 20 times, at age 50, it was a wonderful experience! I had some questions and wrote emails to Michael who responded quickly with answers and positive encouragement! Will definitely recommend!
Reasons for buying:
My son recommended this school to me. It was around the Christmas time and the Christmas reduction and cost was also very helpful! Merry Christmas, to me!

I had a great experience with the Drone Pilot Ground school. It was an easy way to learn all the basics that you would need to know to pass the test and the practice test are great way to prepare. There were times i was so overwhelmed but being able to do it all online at my own pace and being to go back and listen to them time and time again if needed was great!
Reasons for buying:
Having the ability to learn at my own pace on my own time with my busy schedule it was made it work so well for me.

Very good, easy to work with. The only issue I had was at the end of the video it would jump to the next one without me going through the practice questions. So I'd just have to go back and do them.

The information in this training was fun and informative. I found the practice tests to be beneficial since I haven't had to take this long of a test in years, but I have to say the practice tests have easier questions and are easier to digest then the actual test, however this is nice when learning new information, but I felt unprepared when I was only 3 to 10 questions into my actual test. All tests are different and random as I understand, but a healthy portion of my test questions were on sectional charts, air space and METAR reports (and none of those questions were easy). The cram sheet helped me out greatly and reviewing my missed questions on my practice test. I would recommend this to others. From start to finish this really is a turnkey training. I went from ZERO drone and aviation knowledge to Passing my remote pilots test in a little over a month with all of the information I needed to affectively do so being in this training.
Reasons for buying:
The company I work for utilizes MFE Inspection solutions for confined space inspection training with the help of flyability drones and they set us up with Drone pilot ground school.

This is a great program, I passed my FAA part 107 test on the first try. Took this course for work and liked how I could use this program at my own pace which allowed me to do my schooling and still be able to handle my work load. Lots of great information in these lectures.

Alan does a great job with the videos. He keeps them interesting and informative. He takes the government's rules and regulations and explains them in a way that everyone can understand.
The practice quizzes let me know whether I was ready to move on or not. The full length practice tests really helped. I was able to see where I needed to go back and review before taking the real thing.
I have contacted Mike with test questions as well as drone questions. He always responds in a timely manner with the information I need.
Reasons for buying:
Honestly, it was a Black Friday sale.

When I first started taking your course I thought there is no way I'm passing the test. I'm 71 years old & even though I am tech savvy this seemed way beyond my grasp. However, after completing the course & reviewing my weak areas several times I began to feel a little more confident. I ended up with an 87 on the actual test last week. Thank you!
Reasons for buying:
Great reviews & the price with the special being offered fit in my budget.

I'm very glad I found this School! Just an amazing support and amazing breakdown on every topic that you will need to learn to pass your FAA exam. The videos are very helpful and very informative. Mike always helped me out when I felt a little lost on a certain module or topic. I emailed him a lot and called him often; he was never bothered he was always glad to help me and breakdown the information properly. The practice quiz and weekly zoom meetings is what makes this company apart from the others. They just don't give you videos to watch and take little quizzes to pass but they have a full support team (Not Ai) human to human interaction ready for anyone that wants a little more help on a certain topic. If you're considering taking the FAA exam, sign up with Drone Pilot Ground School!! They will make sure you pass on the first try (I passed on my first try) I'm very satisfied with the experience of this school. Worth every penny!!
Reasons for buying:
I saw a YouTube video and he was very relief that he passed his FAA exam after studying for 3 months. He mentioned the school and website and that's what made me go with you guys

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.
