The time came to obtain certification, and I knew that any time spent studying for the exam had to be carved out of professional hours working for my small business. I chose Drone Pilot Ground School for their no-nonsense and professsional interface & lessons. DPGS has developed a highly efficient process that fast tracks the test prep process. I passed the exam with flying colors. I would have spent so much more time trying to master these subjects on my own, so thank you so much DPGS.

In terms of preparing one for a standardized test, DronePilotGroundSchool's service exceeds expectations. They prepare you in a fun, informative way. Instrumental though, are the practice tests. Taking them are a must.

It was a great experience! The course was well organized and the video presentations by topic were extremely helpful. The commentary by the instructor kept the course on track and in the proper context. The material presented helped me to pass FAA Knowledge Exam for Unmanned Small Aircraft.

Reasons for buying:

It was a live presentation in a classroom setting. It was also presented with the use of drones for home inspections in mind.

Drone pilot ground school was the second school that I enrolled with to attempt to acquire an FAA drone pilot 107 license. I was very disappointed with the results of the first school and did not feel confident enough to even take the test. After completing drone pilot ground schools courses And following their instructions with their practice review tests, I took the course the following week and passed. I would highly recommend this organization, not only for their teaching skills, but their interaction with the class especially if you're a home inspector.

I had a great experience with the Drone Pilot Ground School course! I opted for the self-study option for flexibility with my work schedule. Each section was very detailed but also comprehensive in a way that did not feel overwhelming. In a positive way, this course will "over prepare" you for the course. The questions after each module and in the practice test are very similar to the actual exam, so they do a great job preparing you for the sUAS exam.

Reasons for buying:

It was a recommendation from a coworker

I came into this course knowing absolutely nothing about drone regulations or all of the aeronautical rules, maps...ect. The teaching segments along with test prep questions fully prepared me for the actual test.

I couldn't be more grateful to have gone through this course!

Great program, I went through the entire thing up through Unit 8. I took my exam today and passed with a 92. The directions for submitting my application after the test were very helpful as well. Look forward to future Zoom webinars and help from UAV coach.

Wanted an online course that i could do at my own pace. Liked that there were unlimited practice tests that were identical to the real test.

This was an amazing experience! There is no way I could have understood or passed this thing without taking this course. The zoom sessions, the videotaped lectures, all so clear. Any questions I had were followed up within an hour or two. The video lectures had the written material right below. The practice questions were on point. And if you focused on not memorizing, but understanding why you may have missed a practice question were so well explained. I ended up with a 92 on the first attempt. I took the practice FAA exam repeatedly to keep reinforcing. Went through all lectures once, some again. Then before the exam did the WHOLE thing over again. The zoom lessons were beneficial to hear other students' questions. I feel completely confident to go out and begin working a drone in a competent learning phase. With humility and caution to use what I learned as a solid base to now learn to put in practice the fundamentals taught in this course. So worth the time, effort and cost of the course. I will remain in the system to refresh and keep honing what I learned. Thank you so much.

Customer Service
5/5

Reasons for buying:

I felt that this was the best way to have a guided lecture, practice quizzes, Zoom discussions. It hit all the marks. There is no doubt that this course is not a mill for getting students just to pass. These folks care about the industry and care about the students. You put in the work, they meet you way beyond halfway.

Company Response

Fred, thank you so much for your glowing review!  It's wonderful to hear about your successful journey with our course and the outstanding score you achieved.  We're thrilled that the zoom sessions, video lectures, and practice materials were so helpful to you. Congratulations on your achievement and please consider us to be an ongoing drone industry resource as you begin flying commercial operations.

Great material, well organized and it is what it actually goes on the test, no information given is a waste of time. In addition, the quizzes after the material is given are the greatest practice to help remember the material. Practice tests were great, I was getting 92% on practice tests and was ready to take the test but for personal reasons I had to push it about a month, did not review nor practice until a couple days before the exam and was getting 80% ish on the practice tests, i got a 87% on the real test! In fact, there were several questions that were just like the ones Drone Pilote Ground School had on their test so totally worth it. (I finished my test in about 40min).

Reasons for buying:

I read great reviews on internet about their program

Company Response

Pedro, thank you so much for your fantastic review!  We're thrilled to hear that our material and practice tests were so beneficial for you and congrats on your outstanding test score.  We're proud to have been a part of your journey and are delighted that our course played a significant role in your success.  Thank you for choosing Drone Pilot Ground School!

After signing up and reading over some of their material I saw they recommended signing up for the exam while still studying. Went to the site to do this and was pretty sure which test to sign up for but before forking over 175 dollars I called drone pilot drone school to confirm. Immediately had my call answered and question answered. No long wait listening to bad music! Much appreciated.

The study material was well organized with a format of short video followed by written version for reinforcement then a set of questions of that section of material. Liked this approach. After going through it all I did it again skipping the videos and just reading each section and answering the questions again. Finished by taking one or two of the 60 question sample exams every day until the real exam (little over a week - each time only took about 30 minutes). After this the real exam was exceedingly easy to pass with a 95%. Never got all the practice exam questions correct either but the real exam was very similar to the practice exams and therefore easy!

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.
