Become a training provider

Steps to become a training provider

1. Read the information provided

   • Part 101 (Unmanned Aircraft and Rockets) Manual of Standards 2019
   • Advisory Circular AC 101-01 – Remotely piloted aircraft systems – licencing and operations
   • Advisory Circular AC 101-01 – Annex A – Remote pilot licence training course (Currently unavailable while it undergoes review.)

   The documents cover:

   • how to apply to conduct training
   • how to create student and instructor course and assessment material
   • sample training syllabus
   • sample resources
   • checklists.

2. Request a pre-application meeting (optional)

   At this stage, we encourage you to request a pre-application meeting. The meeting allows you to raise any questions with us about your training submission.

   This initial pre-application meeting is 30 minutes and is no cost. It will be by video or by phone. Bring a list of questions you have to the meeting.

   Use our online enquiry form to request an appointment, include your contact details and available times.

3. Develop your training materials

   Refer to chapter 2 of Part 101 Manual of Standards and Advisory Circular AC 101-01 v3.0 - Annex A – Remote pilot licence training course (currently unavailable while it undergoes review). Make sure your training meets the required standards.

4. Apply for a remotely piloted aircraft operator’s certificate (ReOC)

   Apply for an initial remotely piloted aircraft operator's certificate (ReOC) or vary your existing ReOC. All of your remote pilots/instructors will need to have obtained a remote pilot licence (RePL).

   You must submit a complete application. Please refer to the Application for RePL training checklist in Advisory Circular AC 101-01 v3.0 - Annex A – Remote pilot licence training course (currently unavailable while it undergoes review). CASA will not consider an incomplete application.

   Once approved by us, you can provide RePL course training with the RPA types and categories you applied for. You can find your ReOC details listed on our website as a certified RePL training provider.
