COURSE SELECTION GUIDE

Fees vary depending on whether you are a beginner or an experienced pilot, the certification you wish to obtain, whether you are pursuing a First-Class or Second-Class license, any changes to your restrictions (such as night flying, beyond visual line of sight, or cargo weighing 25 kg or more), and any additional flight training or practical courses you may take. At D Academy’s Naha Campus, we will assess your current experience and the type of work you plan to do after obtaining your certification, then organize and recommend the necessary training courses for you.

01

Beginners to drones

We will base our planning on course categories designed for beginners, so that students can learn step-by-step, starting with the fundamentals and basic operations. This program is suitable not only for those seeking certification but also for anyone who wants to develop the ability to make safe flight decisions.

02

People with flight experience

We will review your flight experience and certifications to determine your experience level and whether additional training is required. Since the way experience is evaluated varies by course, it is important to check this information before applying.

03

For those seeking to use it for corporate or business purposes

By working backward from applications such as construction, inspection, surveying, and aerial photography, you can comprehensively plan for national certifications, practical training, DIPS procedures, and operational preparations.
