As one of the cofounders of Drone U let me be the first to say "Thanks!" for checking us out.
Like you, I'm very passionate about the drone industry and work hard each day to make it a better industry for all of us.
Through my own work as a drone pilot, Drone U Chief instructor, author of Livin the Drone Life and co-host of the AskDrone U Podcast, I get the thrill of helping thousands of budding and experienced pilots become the best versions of themselves possible.
My own personal drone services business (because we teach from experience here at Drone U) specializes in aerial photography, videography, and drone mapping.
My past clients include the likes of Marriott Hotels and Resorts, Don Imus, Boarders Magazine, Keller Williams, and Coldwell Banker.
It’s fair to say that I am passionate about design, travel, and photography.
But what I am truly obsessed with is teaching others how to safely and profitably fly their drone.
In fact, for the most part, I have put my own successful drone business on the back-burner so that I can concentrate on Drone U members.
This exciting journey started back in 2014, I was headed out of state to train as a drone pilot and talking to the Bald Bureau (Tim & Rob) as I was doing some SEO work for their previous company.
That’s when a lightbulb went on in my buddy Tim’s head.
“Hey, maybe we could create an online training site and teach people how to fly drones?”
We could combine our love of serving people, help them grow a business, and create a community where people could help and encourage each other.
Read on to learn more about Drone U and how we strive to make you the best drone pilot you can possibly be...
Our students aren't just satisfied, they have successful businesses and they're making money.
Drone U offers a comprehensive overview of drone ownership, use and operation that I have been unable to find online. Even more valuable is the individualized attention that you get including specific answers to questions from experts you trust. I learned a great amount of information and was challenged to put what I learned to use through...Read More
One year after signing up with the Drone U and I'm on set with a Bynum and Murray production for MTV. The Drone U content and member access with other members has been invaluable to the growth of my business Vertical Drones. Thanks you Drone U
You guys are spot on with your videos. You blow the other drone training companies away. I must shamefully admit I went to another well-known training class and wasted $1,700. Lots of sitting in class with very little hands on. Then I found Drone U. Thank God!
Through Drone U's encouragement and help, I'm at a place where I'm leaving my 9-5 job and going full-time into the drone life. I appreciate you guys more than you can know and hope to meet you in person soon. Thanks for everything you all do for u.
I couldn't have done so well without all the very easy to understand content you guys have worked so hard to create! I am now looking forward to digging into the rest of the content now that the exam is behind me (for the next 24 months)! Apart from amazing and invaluable part 107 study material, Drone U offers a plethora of tutorials on...Read More
Drone U truly is a cut above when it comes to investing in yourself, investing in your business and/or taking your media production skills to the next level. After joining another online drone school with a multi-thousand dollar enrollment cost, I was completely disappointed in the lack of information and resources I was offered. I stumbled upon...Read More
DroneU has been the single biggest key to success in launching our drone services business, Omnivista Productions, this year. From the Part 107 training to insightful classes on a myriad of subjects to the invaluable community, DroneU has been an incredible resource. I started the training but stayed for the community. Just 7 months into this,...Read More
Before joining the Drone U community, I subscribed to The Drone U YouTube Channel and watched the podcasts religiously. As my business has grown and I have developed as a pilot, my desire to learn more and expand my skills and offerings has increased. Since becoming a member of The Drone U, I have found the courses to be helpful and the community...Read More
I became a member of Drone U only a few short months ago. A good deal of research went into finding an online course to take my Part 107 exam, and after looking around I selected Drone U. Their track record in the drone marketplace was very obvious.Years of free podcasts to the greater community, additional online training beyond just passing an...Read More
Drone U member content is broad and deep. In less than a year, the training has helped me start a business, crush the Part 107 test, and keep motivated. You make the industry better
I find that all of the material is very professionally created and well laid out. All in all, I am very pleased to have paid for the upgrade to my membership.
I'm a big fan of your work. I passed the 107 test on the first try with your prep course. The material was easy to use and instrumental in me passing the first time. Keep up the good work
Thanks guys! I had a wonderful time flying and learning from you. If you are serious about moving into the mapping sector, and are considering their course, think no further. Just do it! There is a lot of valuable information in this class about field acquisition and post processing. These guys are well ahead of the curve compared to most other...Read More
I would not be where I am today without Drone U. In addition to the knowledge and guidance you provide, you also helped with giving me the confidence to quit the corporate world, pursue my passion, and live the drone life.
Let me first say that after exhaustively searching the internet, using my industry connections, joining AUVSI, and taking a TOPS Level 1 course with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, I can honestly say that I've never found a more affordable, dedicated, and comprehensive training portal anywhere, but The DroneU
You folks do such a superior job educating people compared to all other drone educational entities. My experiences (business boot camp, Fly-In & mapping class) have been the best investment of my time and money that I have made in a long, long time. The people met and relationships formed during those events are truly treasured. I have never...Read More
I’d like to thank Drone U for the knowledge they shared with me. It helped me find a job. I started last week working for aeroscan.nl, a company specialized in making digital copies of buildings.

Apply them to your business, and you might have your dream clients lining up to work with you.
You just don’t know the skills, systems, and processes to build a large and profitable drone business…yet! It is not that you are not smart enough or lack the grit to “make it big”.

But, the good news is that I am going to give you access to all the tools and resources required to build a large, profitable drone business on your own terms…working with the clients that you want to work with…and by charging the rates that you rightly deserve.
