The fastest, most painless way to learn this information by far is by taking a course from an expert.

• 20 quizzes and unlimited practice exams (with more than 300 questions) 
• 14-page cheat sheet and lesson notes
• Mobile and off-line access to lessons
• Lifetime access to all materials
• Certificate of Completion
• Community support and one-on-one instructor support 
• 1st time pass guarantee – full course refund, plus $175 test fee refund, if you don’t pass

The Instructor #

Pilot Institute offers one of the best Part 107 courses available. It’s taught by Greg Reverdiau, an FAA Certified Flight Instructor, with extensive experience with manned and unmanned aircraft operations.

Prof. R teaches in such a way that you can understand the information needed and also understand how you will use that information in your real-world drone operations.

He doesn’t teach to the test – he teaches real knowledge and real-life skills.
