Choose your pathway

Training built around
what you need to do.

Start with your intended role—not a course code. We’ll help identify the appropriate licensing, platform or mission-specific pathway and confirm the delivery partner, prerequisites, schedule and certification before you commit.

01 · Licensing

Remote Pilot Licence pathway

Guidance towards the appropriate South African RPL route through an approved training organisation, with entry requirements and availability confirmed before enrolment.

02 · Aircraft

Enterprise platform onboarding

Practical familiarisation for enterprise aircraft, payloads, controllers, batteries, applications and safe daily operation.

03 · Geomatics

Mapping and data workflows

Mission planning, disciplined data capture and workflow development for mapping, surveying, construction and stockpile applications.

04 · Specialist

Thermal inspection and security

Role-focused development for thermal capture, infrastructure inspection, incident awareness and evidence-led reporting.

05 · Agriculture

Agriculture operations

Platform onboarding, mission planning, application awareness and maintenance routines for agricultural teams, subject to the applicable approvals.

06 · Organisations

Enterprise team development

Structured onboarding, SOP support, supervisor development, competency checks and recurrent training for in-house drone programmes.

Credentials & certification

A clear route from enquiry
to capable operation.

Licence and accredited certification requirements depend on the intended operation. Where formal accreditation is required, delivery is arranged through the appropriate approved training organisation. Platform, payload and workflow development may be delivered separately and is clearly identified before enrolment.

Regional experienceDrone Solutions training network

More than 1,500 pilots trained through CAAZ-licensed programmes in the wider regional operation. This figure is regional and is not presented as a South African accreditation claim.

South African deliveryApproved partners where required

We select and confirm the suitable South African training partner for the pathway. Partner details, approval status, course outcome and issuing body are provided before registration.

Enterprise capabilityBeyond the licence

Aircraft onboarding, mission planning, data workflows, SOP development and recurrent competency support help teams turn a qualification into dependable operational capability.

Before you enrol

Verify the course,
location and outcome.

Tell us your experience, intended aircraft and operating location. Ask for the full course outline, entry requirements, delivery venue, schedule, itemised fees and the named organisation responsible for training and assessment.

Licence preparation or mission training?

A licence pathway, aircraft conversion and application-specific training are different outcomes. Confirm the issuing authority and recognition of any qualification. Regional or Zimbabwean training does not automatically confer a South African licence.

Does training include an RPL?

Licensing requirements and accredited training must be confirmed for the intended operation. We can help scope the correct pathway and provide platform-specific development.

Can you train an enterprise team on its own equipment?

Yes. We can tailor onboarding and operational development to the organisation’s aircraft, payloads, workflows and sites.
