If you’re exploring a career in the drone industry or planning to integrate drone operations into your business, you’ve likely come across terms like RePL, ReOC, and MR25e. Understanding these certifications and endorsements is essential to choosing the right path. 

Quick Guide to Choosing Your Course

• Pick RePL: If you want to be a certified drone pilot and fly commercially under 7kg.
• Pick MR25e: If your drone work involves flying drones over between 7-25kg.
• Pick ReOC & CRP: If you’re setting up a drone program for your company and need full oversight of operations and compliance or need to fly non-standard operations.
• Choose Advanced Courses: If you’re ready to specialize in fields like VTOL payload operations, BVLOS or EVLOS missions, or high-precision mapping and photogrammetry.

Remote Pilot Licence (RePL)

A Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) is ideal for individuals who want to operate drones commercially. It provides you with the essential training to fly drones legally under CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) regulations. This licence is suitable if you aim to work as a drone pilot for a company or independently, focusing on operations where you are not responsible for overseeing an organization’s entire drone program.

• What You Learn: Comprehensive theory on aviation regulations, airspace classifications, and safety, along with practical flight training for proficiency.
• Who It’s For: Aspiring drone pilots seeking employment in the industry or current professionals wanting to expand their skills.

MR25e Endorsement

The MR25e endorsement is a requirement if you plan to operate drones weighing more than 25kg, such as heavy-lift or agricultural drones. It’s an essential addition for those expanding into more advanced or specialized drone operations.

• What You Learn: Safety protocols, flight planning, and regulations specific to operating drones over 25kg.
• Who It’s For: Pilots or organizations looking to operate large drones, often for tasks like precision agriculture or heavy payload deliveries.

Remote Operator Certificate (ReOC) & Chief Remote Pilot (CRP)

A Remote Operator Certificate (ReOC) is designed for businesses or organizations that want to manage their own drone operations. An ReOC is necessary if your company will be handling drones and ensuring compliance with all CASA regulations. This certification goes hand in hand with the Chief Remote Pilot (CRP) course, which prepares you to oversee your organization’s drone operations, develop flight plans, and ensure safety and regulatory compliance.

• What It Covers: Establishing procedures, creating an operations manual, compliance management, and obtaining CASA approvals. The CRP course provides additional training on leadership and operational oversight.
• Who It’s For: Business owners, managers, or designated individuals responsible for drone operations and compliance within an organization.

Advanced Courses

• PLE (Payload Lifting Endorsement): Training on how to safely operate drones carrying heavy payloads, essential for tasks like cargo delivery and specialized operations.
• BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight): Certification to fly drones beyond your visual line of sight, opening up opportunities for long-range or automated flights.
• EVLOS (Extended Visual Line of Sight): Training to extend your operational range while still maintaining visual contact with the drone using observers, suitable for tasks like search and rescue or extended surveying.
• Best For: Professionals seeking to advance their career in specialized fields such as surveying, agriculture, emergency response, or long-distance operations.
