FAQs
Most of our students have full-time jobs and take 2-3 weeks to get through each of our lessons and full-length practice tests. It ends up being about 10-20 hours of total butt-in-seat study time. Since you get lifetime access to the course materials, you can work through them at your own pace.
We are a test prep course for the FAA’s drone licensing exam. Once you’ve gone through our course and you’re scoring well on the practice tests, you will schedule an appointment at an official test center in your area and take the exam in person.

There are several ways to contact us: email us at [email protected], call us at 888-626-1490, or click the “Ask a Question by Voicemail” button within the course.

Yes, if you’re simply interested in passing the test, there are free videos and study guides out there.

The FAA Aeronautical Knowledge Test is a United States exam for drone pilots looking to fly for commercial use in the U.S., and our course prepares you for this exam. Please check your country’s drone laws for your local rules and regulations.
