The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has launched the creation of certified private schools for training drone operators, as the need for professional drone operators is constantly growing. Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said:
“There is a demand for this profession in military units, so we need educational institutions that will provide quality knowledge.”
Start of school certification
According to him, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, dozens of private training centers for UAV pilots have sprung up in Ukraine, but there is no unified system for regulating their activities. The government has adopted a resolution that will launch the certification of private UAV schools.
Educational institutions will be able to obtain a certificate and officially train operators who, after successfully passing the exams, will be able to take up positions as UAV operators in military units of all components of the Security and Defense Forces.
What you need to get a license
To obtain a license, an institution must:
- Provide training in drone control or manufacturing.
- Have 3+ drones for pilot training and certification.
- Have training programs to train pilots on these vehicles.
- Hire 3+ certified instructors to conduct the training.
The resolution will allow only those institutions that provide real practical knowledge that will help at the front to operate.
