RE: 5-day RePL training course:
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for taking me on the journey that was the RePL course!
My gosh, it started off tricky, but I honestly had an absolute blast during those 5 days. You all have such great humour and amazing knowledge around this subject. Jimmy your stories were priceless!! I loved hearing them every day. And i can’t wait for your book to come out 🙂
Alex and Klman were amazing teachers. They had a lot of patience for me, with both my lack of skills/knowledge and with my dry sarcastic humour. I think I tested them quite a bit with the number of questions and my lack of understanding sometimes, but they really took their time to explain things to me so I would have the ability to understand and fully comprehend a subject. They never once made me feel silly or stupid for not understanding, and that was honestly so so appreciated.
Thank you all for making me a better UAV pilot. And thank you for all the laughs I had during the course, I really had a great time, and if I had to do it all again, I would be so happy to do it all again with you guys!

Flying training – “The best part of all! How awesome was it to fly a number of different aircraft & being able to compare the abilities of each, throughout numerous flying conditions, with the support of experienced pilots and other students with varying skills interacting to share their knowledge. I could have spent days enjoying & learning from this type fo environment.” (K.D.)

“I did my Remote Pilot Licence course for multirotor RPAs with Interspacial as they offered a lot of bang for the buck with their affordable course fees but industrial-standard training platforms, including the DJI Inspire and Matrice 600. Throughout the course, no corners were cut. There was a very strong emphasis placed on safety as there was on RPA airmanship itself. The staff are friendly and very helpful with both the training as well as the administrative side of things. The instructors, Stewart, Jimmy and Abraham are highly experienced, professional, and knowledgeable in the field of drones and will get you up to speed in no time, oh, and June whips up an awesome lunch too! This is definitely the place to be to kick-start your career as a drone pilot. Highly recommended.” (S.W)
