Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the UAPL Theory Course, including course content, funding, entry requirements, assessment, and certification.

01How do I obtain an Unmanned Aircraft Pilot Licence (UAPL)?

To progress towards a UAPL, learners will generally need to pass the required theory test and complete the relevant practical assessment. This theory course helps learners build the knowledge needed to prepare for the CAAS UAPL Theory Test. Practical training and practical assessment are conducted separately, subject to the relevant CAAS requirements.

02Is this UAPL Theory Course suitable for beginners?

Yes. This course is suitable for learners starting their UAPL journey, as it covers the theoretical foundations required for safe unmanned aircraft operations.

03Can I fly a drone immediately after completing this UAPL course?

No. This course covers the classroom theory component. Learners must pass the CAAS UAPL Theory Test, complete the required practical assessment, and obtain the relevant digital licence before conducting commercial unmanned aircraft operations, subject to CAAS requirements.

04How do I register for the UAPL Theory Test?
