Calgary Drone Academy

Prior to my flight review I was super nervous and anxious about the exam - however flying with Grant made the experience super enjoyable and extremely informative. I would recommend Grant for all your drone flight reviews or courses needs! Thanks Grant! :)

Completed my advance drone license with Grant through the online course. It was easy to follow and extremely helpful in prep for my advanced exam. Grant also conducted our flight review - informative and fun. I would recommend!!

I have taken many a course in my life and fully expected this to be a boring drag like all the rest. In the opposite, Grant was an excellent instructor that kept the course interesting and kept us engaged for the full time. Grant knows his stuff and was able to respond to every question with detail. The course was paced well and we finished on time without feeling rushed or pressured to move on when we had questions. Would take another with Grant.

I just completed an Advanced Drone Pilot course with the Calgary Drone Academy a few days ago. The course filled in all the knowledge gaps that it needed to and turned out to be fun on top of being educational. Grant uses a lot of real world scenarios in his lectures which helps one understand and visualize concepts and regulations. I can definitely recommend this course for both hobby and career drone pilots.

For both the in-class course content and the in-the-field flight review, Grant was a great instructor to have! In terms of course work, it was a ton of information to take in but it was paced well, interactive, and kept interesting - going through this course made it easy to pass the Advanced Pilot Exam. The flight review went well also - Grant's instruction gave me confidence in flying, and a better understanding of how the regulations and restrictions of airspace impact us in the field.

Grant has provided an excellent course that covers many of the key aspects of mapping. There are also a number of high quality videos which help give a visual of the topics being explained.

I completed the Fundamentals of Drone Mapping course as well as the Advanced Pilot License Course and both were extremely informative, well done and great value. I highly recommend them. Grant was super helpful and responsive when I reached out to him. He saved me a lot of time and money! I will be flying down from the Yukon just to take the Flight Review/Training with UAVertical because of the positive experience I had. Top notch, thanks so much!

Had taken in-person course and flight training/review with Grant, and it was an amazing experience. Kept me involved and engaged throughout the 2-day in-person course and also during the flight training/review. He is a great mentor, satisfactorily answering all questions and clarifying all doubts be it about the course, exam or about actual flight review.The course content is aptly combined covering all the details/topics asked on the exam. Highly recommend the exams that they have after going through the course as it prepares and provides a huge confidence for the online test. Took the advanced exam after the in-person class within 2 days and could clear it easily. Overall, the tips and ideas provided by Grant made topics easier to understand and the online tests gave much needed boost for the exam. Anyone without prior knowledge about drones or flights, could as well, get their basic/advanced license confidently with the help of their course.Would surely recommend checking out with Grant (Calgary Drone Academy) before considering any other schools. Good Luck team!

Grant delivers a quality and engaging advanced ground school. His teaching methods help break down a lot of complex information into digestible and relatable pieces. Grant provides fantastic additional resources and is, overall, a great instructor to spend a few days learning with!

Grant is a fantastic knowledgeable individual. I attended ground school through Calgary drone academy and had no problems passing my written government exam. Grant is a top notch guy, will keep you attentive in the slower parts of the course, engages with you and will take the time to make sure everyone understands. If you are self studying to pass your advanced drone license and finding the sheer quantity of information needed to pass overwhelming don’t even hesitate to take ground school. Likewise if you just want to walk in and take the course you will pass if you put the work in. Highly recommend.
