Why Commercial Drone Training Matters for High Schools

The drone industry is experiencing explosive growth, with applications spanning industries like agriculture, cinematography, construction, law enforcement, and more. As drone technology continues to revolutionize these fields, it’s more important than ever to prepare students to excel in this dynamic industry. By offering FAA Part 107 certification training and hands-on commercial drone experience, high schools can provide their students with a distinct advantage in the workforce.

What is FAA Part 107 Certification?

The FAA Part 107 certification is a mandatory requirement for anyone who wants to operate drones for commercial purposes in the United States. This certification signifies that the drone pilot has met the necessary requirements to operate a drone safely and legally in controlled airspace.

For high school students, obtaining this certification opens a pathway to exciting and high-paying careers, making them stand out in today’s competitive job market. With DroneBlocks’ tailored commercial drone training program, schools can equip their students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to pass the FAA Part 107 exam with flying colors.
