The Cadet Ab Initio Drone Operator Training Program is an immersive, self-sponsored training initiative designed to equip aspiring drone operators with the essential skills and knowledge required in the field of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operations. This program is not a job role but rather a unique opportunity for hands-on training and professional development.

Participants will engage in a comprehensive curriculum that includes both theoretical learning and practical applications, covering drone piloting, maintenance, regulations, safety protocols, and advanced aviation technologies. A key component of the training program is the On-the-Job Training (OJT) segment, which provides cadets with valuable exposure and real-world experience in various aspects of drone operation.

Throughout the program, cadets will have the chance to work alongside experienced professionals, enabling them to transform into well-rounded drone operators. This self-sponsored training program serves as a vital steppingstone for those looking to pursue a career in UAS operations and aviation.
