USI Success Stories
"I honestly cannot say enough about the USI drone pilot training and certification program! The employees that I received hands on training with were absolutely amazing."
Ellie Foster
Remote Pilot
"USI's emphasis on safety is what separates them from all other UAS providers. The courses highlighted the correct use of PPE, the importance of SOPs and checklists, and the correct methods of conducting site surveys prior to takeoff. Upon my first week with Trihydro, I revised all of the SOPs and checklists to emphasize the importance of safety."
Dustin Peltola
Trihydro
"I knew when I started my training that I wanted something that was not just a preparatory course for the Part 107 exam. While those are still okay, they're not going to teach you what you need to know for day to day business in your career as a drone operator and pilot. What I learned from USI, I use every single day."
