Common training questions
What most first-time trainees ask before enrolling.
Can I complete training fully online?
Theory modules can often be completed online, but the practical flying assessment must be done in person at an approved facility.
How do I know if an institute is genuinely DGCA-approved?
Institutes listed here are checked for approval status before being added. You can also verify directly with DGCA if you'd like independent confirmation.
What happens after I complete my practical assessment?
The institute issues a training completion certificate, which feeds into your Remote Pilot Certificate application.
Can I switch institutes mid-course?
This depends on the institute's own policy and course structure. Check transfer terms before enrolling if this matters to you.
Do I need my own drone to train?
No — most institutes provide training drones for the practical portion of the course as part of the fee.
