“I highly recommend CES for its drone training services. They are dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about the success of the communities they work with. CES has been incredibly supportive even after the training sessions finished, continuing to provide suggestions and resources, ensuring that we can make the most of our new knowledge and capabilities.”

Our training can bring you the skills and certifications required to take off!
As drones continue to expand our capabilities in work, life, and education, it is important that they are controlled safely, and in compliance with regulations established by Transport Canada.
We have developed learning materials and training services that can accelerate your journey to flying a drone and set you up for success in your flight review. If you have already taken an RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) training course, and are ready for the next step, we also offer in-person flight reviews.
RPAS TRAINING COURSE | GROUND SCHOOL
Learn about Air Laws and Regulations, key RPAS components, and much more in this course! Our Ground School covers all content outlined in Transport Canada’s TP15263 (Knowledge requirements for Pilots of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems 250g up to and including 25 kg, operating within visual line-of-sight) so you can feel prepared and confident when taking your Advanced Operations exam. Included in the course is a flight review for those who pass the exam.
FLIGHT REVIEW | PILOT CERTIFICATE – ADVANCED OPERATIONS
Reviews usually take about an hour and a half to complete, and run through everything from pre-flight planning, to safely landing. Once you have completed your review, our flight reviewer will assess whether you safely operated your drone and submit your results online. If successful, you will receive your certificate.
OPEN COURSES
We run open courses as demand requires and are happy to discuss possible training opportunities or options for flight reviews. Interested, but not sure where to start? Fill out our intake form and we’ll help you reach your goals!
