Introduction
As commercial drone operations grow across Australia, organisations need training that is flexible, compliant, industry-relevant and scalable. Drone Training Hub delivers a blended training pathway combining online theory modules with instructor-led in-person practical training. This structure gives teams the ability to complete essential learning at their own pace, followed by hands-on flight instruction delivered by aviation professionals.
Our mixed online and in-person drone training is the ideal choice for businesses, enterprise teams, schools, government departments, trades-based organisations, and community groups seeking an efficient and CASA-aligned Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) training solution. This program is available Australia-wide and open to all participants aged 16 and over.
Why Businesses Choose Blended Drone Training
Traditional face-to-face training requires travel, full-day attendance, and multi-day theory sessions. In contrast, our blended learning model reduces downtime and makes it easier to work around staff availability, operational demands and remote locations.
Flexibility for busy teams
Online theory modules allow participants to study when it suits them. Whether your organisation is based in a major city, a regional centre, or a remote community, all theory is accessible from any device.
In-person training with aviation instructors
Once theory is complete, staff attend a practical training block delivered by Drone Training Hub’s instructors, who bring deep aviation industry experience and real-world remote operations knowledge. Practical training includes flight planning, normal operations, emergency procedures, multi-rotor handling, safety compliance, and licensing assessment.
Group discount for five or more participants
Organisations training a team of five or more enjoy reduced pricing through our group discount, which enables five students to complete the training for the price of four. This supports decision-makers in justifying large-scale upskilling while lowering per-person cost.
CASA-aligned commercial training
All training is aligned to CASA requirements for RePL certification and prepares organisations to progress toward a Remote Operator Certificate (ReOC) if needed. Drone Training Hub also provides optional guidance and documentation development for businesses entering commercial RPAS operations.
How the Blended Training Program Works
Online Theory
Participants begin with online theory, covering air law, RPAS systems, meteorology, navigation, flight planning and operational procedures. Lessons are designed to be clear, digestible and practical, allowing learners to progress step by step and repeat content as needed.
The online component includes:
• RPAS fundamental theory
• CASA-aligned air law
• Weather, NOTAMs and operational risk assessments
• Emergency procedures
• VLOS operating rules
• Flight planning and documentation
Upon completion of the online theory, students are ready for the practical stage.
In-Person Practical Training
In-person practical training is delivered at scheduled locations across Australia. This session focuses on hands-on flying skills using industry-standard equipment, alongside mission planning, safety systems and final assessment for RePL licensing.
Practical training includes:
• Multi-rotor flight operations
• Pre-flight checks and maintenance fundamentals
• Operational documentation and risk assessment
• Emergency and abnormal procedure execution
• Applied mission planning
• Practical assessment for licensing
Training is conducted by instructors with real-world experience across industries such as infrastructure inspection, agriculture, emergency response, survey and mapping.

Australia-Wide Availability
The online portion of the training is accessible anywhere. Practical sessions are scheduled in major cities, regional centres and selected remote communities depending on demand. Organisations with larger groups may request training delivered directly at their location, subject to availability and operational assessment.
Supporting Remote Communities: Fly Forward NT
Drone Training Hub proudly operates the Fly Forward NT Scholarship Program, a high-impact initiative supporting high school students in remote Northern Territory communities. Students aged 16 or older may access subsidised or fully funded RePL training to encourage future industry skills, aviation literacy and technology pathways.
This program helps overcome the geographical and resource barriers often experienced by remote students. By training young people in drone operations, Fly Forward NT opens pathways in industries such as land management, surveying, conservation, emergency services, agriculture and commercial aviation.
A portion of Drone Training Hub’s revenue helps sustain this scholarship program, meaning every group training booking contributes to supporting the next generation of remote Australian drone pilots.
