Hear directly from those who have completed our training programs

"...I believe their (USI) training changed how I view UAS operations. USI’s emphasis on safety is what separates them from all other UAS providers and courses. The courses I participated in highlighted the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE), the importance of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and checklists, and the correct methods of conducting site survey considerations prior to takeoff. Upon my first week with Trihydro, I revised all of the SOPs and checklists to emphasis the importance of safety. Without USI’s safety training I would not have had the knowledge or background to provide changes to these documents..."

The USI courses not only deepened my understanding of remotely piloted systems and safety in business aviation, but their expert-led instruction also equipped me with the skills and confidence to excel in this innovative field. USI provides endless opportunities for growth and leadership in the future of aviation, and I offer my special thanks to them for their exceptional support and guidance."

"I knew when I started my training, that I wanted something that was not just a preparatory course for the Part 107 exam. While those are still okay, they’re not going to teach you what you need to know for day to day business in your career as a drone operator and pilot. What I learned from USI, I use every single day."
