These schools train drone pilots in Uganda, from first flights to commercial work. Programs, schedules, and pricing change often, so contact each school directly for current details.
Training runs through an approved provider, with a UCAA examiner administering the practical assessment as part of the course; one training provider offers a 7-day Remote Pilot Licence course directly alongside a UCAA examiner.
Civil drone operation in Uganda is regulated by the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) under the UAS Regulations 2022, which sort operations into risk categories A, B, and C. A remote pilot license is required for Category B and C operations.
This page is for general orientation and may not reflect the latest regulatory changes. It is not legal advice: confirm current rules, fees, and permitted zones with your country's civil aviation authority before you fly.
