Why Third-Party Validation Matters

Standards-Based Training for a Safer, Smarter UAS Industry

In aviation, credibility isn’t claimed—it’s earned. At USI, we don’t just teach drone operations. We teach to the highest global benchmarks. Our programs are the only UAS workforce training solutions in the world approved by ASTM International—the same standards body trusted by the FAA, NASA, Amazon Prime Air, and regulators around the globe. 

Built on the Foundation of Accredited Standards

USI is the first and only ASTM Approved Training Provider for UAS. That means:

  • Our curriculum has been independently audited and approved by ASTM after an 18-month review process.
  • We align to the most widely recognized global workforce standards: ASTM F3266 (Remote Pilot) and ASTM F3600 (Maintenance Technician).
  • Our certification exams are third-party proctored—ensuring our learners are tested to an objective, industry-aligned benchmark.


For our students, partners, and institutions, this adds up to one powerful outcome: real-world credibility.

Not Just Videos. Verified Standards.

In today’s digital world, it’s easy to find drone training on YouTube or from self-proclaimed industry “gurus.” But there’s a big difference between watching videos and earning certification through a verified, standards-aligned training program.

At USI, we go beyond convenience. We go the extra mile—to build training that is:

  • Audited and approved by ASTM International
  • Mapped to FAA standards
  • Aligned with IS-BAO’s rigorous SMS frameworks
  • Delivered by qualified instructors, not content influencers


Our learners don’t just “pass a test”—they gain skills, confidence, and certification that holds weight in classrooms, boardrooms, and flight departments alike.

This isn’t training for hobbyists—it’s training for professionals, employers, and educators who demand results and recognize the value of true operational excellence.

Why This Matters to You

Whether you’re a high school STEM instructor, a university CTE director, a safety-conscious operations manager, or a motivated individual seeking career advancement, standards alignment offers meaningful benefits:

✅ Higher Trust

Regulators, employers, and insurers look for programs that are backed by independently recognized standards—not just internal checklists.

✅ Stronger Results

Organizations aligned to ASTM and IS-BAO standards see:

  • 50% faster FAA approvals
  • 40% higher client win rates on RFPs
  • 15–30% insurance premium reductions
  • 70% fewer incidents and near-misses
✅ Future-Ready Workforce

With the FAA preparing to roll out Part 108, companies will need certified personnel ready to meet complex operational demands like BVLOS and one-to-many missions. USI’s alignment to ASTM ensures your teams are already training to meet those emerging expectations.

What Makes USI Different

There are four pillars to true operational standardization:

USI_VertLogo-blue-nbg
Pillar USI’s Role
1. The Standard We use only globally accredited frameworks (ASTM, IS-BAO).
2. The Body of Knowledge Our curriculum is built and audited to meet these standards.
3. Certification We test what matters—skills and safety—not just attendance.
4. Independent Validation Our assessments are proctored and verified by third-party entities.

IS-BAO and FAA Alignment

USI is also a training partner for IBAC’s IS-BAO RPAS audit program, which brings the safety and management rigor of manned aviation to unmanned operations. Our courses map to FAA Airman Certification Standards and exceed the knowledge baseline of Part 107—preparing your teams for what’s next.

Bottom Line: Not All Training Is Equal

When it comes to workforce readiness, who does the training matters. With USI, your students, employees, and partners don’t just complete a course. They earn a certification that’s recognized, validated, and respected across the industry.
