March Marks the First 4-Day Session for Drone License Refresher Courses

March Drone License Refresher Courses

In March 2026, the Air Ocean Drone School in Tokyo will hold its first ever four-day session for the second-class national drone license refresher courses. Aimed at answering the pressing needs of industry professionals, these courses will condense crucial information into a 50-minute format that can accommodate the demanding schedules of busy drone operators.

Addressing Time Constraints

As the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) becomes more prevalent in fields like infrastructure inspection, surveying, aerial photography, and disaster response, the need for certified operators has surged. However, many pilots voice concerns about the time commitment required to complete refresher courses. Understanding this dilemma, Air Ocean Drone School has revised its program to deliver the essential updates swiftly and efficiently.

Benefits of In-Person Training

The refresher courses will cover significant changes to regulations and key safety practices within a short time frame. These will be conducted face-to-face, providing the added benefit of not requiring a formal assessment test, which is mandatory in online programs. The school believes that direct interaction during the training enhances the learning experience and promotes better retention of essential information.

Convenient Locations and Quick Certification

One of the main advantages of the Air Ocean Drone School's courses is their convenient location. Situated within walking distance of major stations in Tokyo, the school offers evening classes, making it easier for pilots to attend after work. Additionally, students will receive their certification by the following day, greatly minimizing the time lost between the completion of the course and the issuance of credentials. This streamlined process is designed to lessen any disruption to pilots' ongoing business activities.
