Special Campaign for Students at Drone School Tokyo
Tokyo's renowned Drone School, operated by Hummingbird, is excited to announce a special promotion aimed at students between 16 and 25 years old. The "U-25 Student Discount! Spring Drone National Qualification Support Campaign" will commence on March 1, 2026, at various campus locations.
Background of the Campaign
The increasing demand for certified drone pilots across multiple industries, from logistics to inspection and aerial photography, has created a significant need for qualified individuals. However, the costs associated with obtaining these qualifications can be a substantial barrier for students. To encourage young talent to take on new challenges during the spring break and the start of a new academic year, this campaign was devised.
An Inspirational Success Story
The success of this initiative is exemplified by Okawara, a manager at Drone School Tokyo, who pivoted his career after taking advantage of a student discount in 2021. Since enrolling, he has fallen in love with drones and now boasts one of the highest flight hours as an instructor in Japan. His life took a dramatic turn due to the program.
Okawara describes the student discount as a "life-changing ticket," emphasizing how it opened doors for him during a pivotal time in his life. He encourages students to take this opportunity, noting that gaining a national qualification in drone piloting can provide a competitive edge in the job market.

Regardless of experience levels—whether one has flown a drone or not—students can feel assured that instructors will provide personalized support during the sessions.
Courses Beyond the Qualification
In addition to helping students earn national qualifications, the school also offers specialist training courses. One notable course focuses on developing 'drone inspection specialists,' which caters to the growing needs of urban environments. Starting in 2025, a new certification will emerge to train operators in safely flying drones for building inspections.
