Concise training tool, provides the "must know" info in a user-friendly and articulate way.

Very good experience more info on what I learned to stay out of trouble in other section. Living within 5 miles of an airport causes serious constraints on flying.
10/21/2021
I completed course in about one hour. The material was clear although CBOs are not yet officially recognized. I learned a lot to stay out of trouble. Living within 5 miles of an airport puts heavy restrictions on flying. I can't even fly in my backyard below house or tree levels. It is in a 0 ft AGL grid and there are not waivers if flying recreationally. You need the Part 107 license.

I found the basic UAS pilot training to be a great investment in time and knowledge. The experience was a great orientation to my new UAS and I am so glad I chose to take it. Leo Garcia is a wonderful instructor

Currently enrolled for the completion of Part 107 training but held back due to current Covid restrictions and drone flying. Anticipate completion of the course of study shortly.
10/15/2021
Mostly common sense test but something everyone should take seriously when operating an unmanned aircraft just as if they were operating in a manned aircraft as pilot in command.
10/15/2021 , IL
Outstanding quality in presenting information!
10/15/2021
Required training that UAV Coach has made available in a very clear, easy way to obtain a certificate. Highly recommended.

Simple, clear, training that was easy to follow with links to appropriate sites. Appreciated the follow up video for newbies!

Easy to use site, I was a little disappointed that I had to drive so far to get a hands-on class, but maybe once I get going I can work for you in my area of West TN!! (The nearest class I found to me was in middle Tennessee, near Nashville, which was about 2.5 hours for me, each way there and back.)

Matt was very knowledgeable, he was happy to share that knowledge, and was a pleasure to meet and have as a trainer! Having never operated even a toy drone before, never played video games, etc., I was afraid I would be unteachable. But, Matt made it seem easy and no stress was involved. I feel much more confident in operating a drone now once I purchase my own. I enjoyed his real life stories and examples of how he utilizes drones.

Awesome
10/13/2021

Very good

Examination format and content was thorough and informative, in the context of drone operation for recreational purposes.
Online examination was easy to follow and also reinforced the overall requirements for safe, effective and knowledgeable drone operation.
10/12/2021
Excellent coverage of flight safety and mechanics, local authorities regulatory/legislative requirements in concerning flight zones for recreational drone operation and operators.

There is no sanitizing of escape characters in the form output. People with apostrophes in their names wind up with spellings like "O\'Brien" on the certificates and "O\\\'Brien" on the emails.
10/12/2021
I was quite pleased with the training, until it was time to print my certificate. Apparently the FAA didn't do user case testing with the printing part, as my name has an apostrophe in it. The certificate printed as "O\'Kane" and the email printed as "O\\\'Kane". This is basic Javascript escape character processing. I'm really surprised this slipped through without being tested.

Very helpful, easy to understand and comprehensive
10/09/2021
Very straightforward, informative and helpful! You can get started flying a drone in no time and still know the rules.
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.
