Rocket Drones offers certifications built for schools: the FAA Part 107 Commercial Drone Certification Course for students 16 and older, available now, and industry-endorsed certifications coming soon, starting with the Drone Agriculture Certification Course. Certifications in mapping, photography, videography, infrastructure inspection, and law enforcement will follow.
At Rocket Drones, we understand the importance of equipping students with the right qualifications and skills for a successful career in the rapidly growing drone industry. Each certification gives students a competitive edge in the job market and shows employers they can operate drones safely and professionally, making them attractive candidates across industries.
We also recognize that certified and qualified are two different things, and a certification is one piece of the puzzle. That’s why our programs pair certification with real flight skill training and logged hours, so students walk into the interview room with hands-on experience that backs up their credentials.
