If you are flying a remotely piloted aircraft as part of your job - including for research –  it is likely you will find a Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) useful, or necessary, to have. The University of Adelaide offers a commercial drone course leading to the award of this licence by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia (CASA).

This six-day course is conducted through a mix of activities including practical drone operation sessions on-campus at the University of Adelaide by a team of CASA-certified remote pilots and trainers from the University. Our trainers are also scientists, aviators, engineers and professionals who are highly experienced in the use of multirotor and fixed wing drones for environmental, agricultural, and commercial applications, both within Australia and overseas.
