Uncrewed Approvals — Professional Development for RPAS Operators

AAUS-Accredited Learning Partner

Professional development that expands what you’re approved to fly.

Structured, CASA-aware training for Australian RPAS operators – built by regulatory specialists, delivered online, and recognised toward AAUS operator accreditation.

CPD points toward AAUS accreditation · Type-specific knowledge quizzes · Done-for-you training, no internal L&D required

  • Written by RPAS regulatory specialists
  • Courses award CPD toward AAUS accreditation
  • A portfolio that grows with your capability

Why it matters

Training is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s how you access capability, contracts, and cover.

A ReOC and an RePL get you into the air. Staying competitive means demonstrating – on paper – that your pilots keep pace with new operation types, new aircraft, and rising client and insurer expectations. That’s what our professional development is built to do.

Counts toward accreditation – As an AAUS Learning Partner, our courses award Continuous Professional Development points toward AAUS operator accreditation, the industry’s mark of a serious operator.

Recognition & better cover – Accredited operators earn public-register recognition and become eligible for discounted insurance premiums, increasingly the difference between winning and losing tenders.

Expand your capability – Move deliberately into night operations, EVLOS and beyond, with training that builds the underpinning knowledge before you extend the operation.

No internal L&D needed – Built for operators who need current, credible training but don’t have the time or in-house resources to develop their own materials. We’ve done it for you.

The market is shifting

Advanced type training is heading from “recommended” to “required”.

Insurers are responding to a high claims rate on agricultural drones, and some are beginning to signal that advanced, aircraft-specific training will become a condition of cover. Corporate and government clients are asking the same question in their tenders.

Operators who can already evidence type-specific competency and ongoing CPD won’t be scrambling when that becomes the standard. Our type-specific quizzes and professional development are designed to put that evidence on the record now.

Our training philosophy

Build capability in the right order.

Advanced approvals like EVLOS, operations over people and BVLOS are legally independent – but that doesn’t mean they should be tackled in isolation. Skipping stages tends to be both unsafe and inefficient. Our courses are structured to build the underpinning knowledge and experience at each step, so your capability expansion is defensible to a regulator, a client, and an insurer.

“The approval you can hold and the capability you can safely exercise are two different things.”

Our professional development is designed to close that gap – deliberately, in sequence, with the evidence to back it up.

Who it’s for

Individual operators – Expand your operational capability and keep your CPD current, without building training from scratch.

Enterprise & fleet operators – Standardise type-specific competency across your team and evidence it for clients and insurers.

Corporate & government – Ready-made, accredited training to meet procurement, assurance and compliance requirements at scale.
