🎓 DRONE PILOT TRAINING · AUBERVILLIERS (93) · €350–2,800 LA FORMATION
Drone drone pilot training in Aubervilliers
Becoming a professional drone pilot requires mastering a dense European regulatory framework and genuine flying skill. Our courses cover the full journey: preparation for the online A1/A3 theory exam, the French BAPD certificate for sub-category A2, complete specific-category training (CATS theory plus practical STS-01/STS-02 scenario training with assessment and certificate), and trade modules — photogrammetry, thermography, technical inspection, FPV. Sessions alternate between classroom, simulator and a declared training field.
Our instructors are working drone pilots: real-world cases, the pitfalls of prefectural declarations and the actual preparation of a mission in controlled airspace are part of the syllabus alongside theory. Courses are eligible for French professional funding schemes (OPCO, France Travail depending on your file); individual sessions or small groups of 4 to 6 trainees, anywhere in France. Three months of post-course support (regulatory hotline, review of your first mission files) is included.

The local context in Aubervilliers
Aubervilliers falls under the full Paris-region regime: the conurbation's low-altitude no-fly zone with police prefecture authorisation, the Paris-Le Bourget CTR to the north and the immediate neighbourhood of the Saint-Denis canal and the ring road. Processing times mean every mission must be anticipated by several weeks.
The area is transforming intensely: the Condorcet humanities campus, the Olympic pool inherited from the 2024 Games, Line 15 and Line 12 extension works, conversion of the canal's warehouses and general stores — so much construction monitoring and communications imagery for local authorities and developers, plus the wholesale trade of the Quatre-Chemins district.
Applicable regulations
The French regulatory path in 2026 works as follows: for the open category, free online A1/A3 training and exam on the DGAC platform (via AlphaTango), supplemented for A2 by declared practical self-training and the French theory exam (BAPD). For the specific category (built-up areas, beyond visual line of sight, STS scenarios), the pilot must pass the CATS theory certificate (exam at a DGAC centre) then complete practical training with a recognised entity issuing the completion certificate; the operator declares its STS scenarios and maintains an operations manual. Every operator — even recreational, from 800 g or with a camera — registers on AlphaTango. Our training fields are declared and our practical courses aligned with European scenario requirements.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to become a professional drone pilot?
Allow 5 to 10 days of training: 2 to 3 weeks of CATS theory preparation (often remote), then 3 to 5 days of practical STS work in the field. Many trainees are operational within a month, operator filings included.
Can the course be funded by French professional schemes?
Yes: our organisation is Qualiopi-certified, the prerequisite for OPCO funding, company training plans and France Travail support. We provide the quote, syllabus and agreement for your application.
Do I need to own a drone before training?
No: training drones (and the simulator) are provided throughout the course. We then advise you on buying a machine suited to your business and its European class (C0 to C6).
Can this service be flown anywhere in Aubervilliers?
Almost: Zone interdite basse altitude de l'agglomération parisienne; CTR de Paris-Le Bourget au nord. Depending on the exact location, the pilot picks the right framework (open or specific category) and files the required declarations — included in the quote.
