Three Options Available
USI instructors teach the UAS Bootcamp in a hybrid format, including synchronous and asynchronous online learning. This allows participants to complete much of the coursework from home. The program concludes with in-person flight training, which takes place on-site at Haney Tech. If you are interested in participating at your own pace (asynchronously), you are welcome to join this cohort, but must register no later than Monday, September 30, 2024.
USI offers three exciting options for individuals looking to enter the UAS industry:
Professional Remote Operator (PRO®) Training
Training Time: 8 weeks
PRO® training includes courses in Unmanned Aircraft Systems and technology, Mission Planning, Visual Line of Sight Flight Operations, and Remote Pilot Exam Preparation. The training is delivered over a fast-paced eight-week period, with the final week dedicated to in-person flight training. Please note that students must obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate (Part 107) from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) before starting the live flight portion of training. The exam costs $175 and is not provided by USI or Haney Tech.
Advanced Remote Operator (AV PRO®) Training
Training Time: 6 weeks
The AV PRO® training builds on the foundation established in the PRO® Program. Courses include: Human Factors, Crew Resource Management, and Safety Management Systems for UAS. The program culminates with Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) training on an advanced UAS. This fast-paced training spans six weeks, with the final two weeks dedicated to in-person flight training. Students must present a valid Remote Pilot Certificate (Part 107) from the FAA before starting the live flight training.
