NIST -  UAS Flight Proficiency Training

Certifying your team to a national standard elevates your program and sets you apart from the rest.

  • Train to NIST Standards (Levels 1, 2, and 3) — each certification available independently so your team can advance at your own pace.
     
  • Build measurable proficiency using structured, standards-based flight lanes that test precision, accuracy, and control.
     
  • Earn nationally recognized credentials that validate pilot skill levels and readiness for mission-critical UAS operations.
     
  • Can be used to meet your program’s initial, recurring or annual training requirements.
