Drone License
Drone license is a national qualification
From December 5, 2022, drone licensing will become a national certification system (unmanned aerial vehicle pilot certification). The demand for drones continues to grow not only for recreational use, but for industrial uses in a variety of fields including aerial photography, infrastructure inspection, civil engineering and construction, logistics, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and security.

What makes JDO Drone School different
Point.1
Courses are led by instructors with extensive field experience
While most drone schools have instructors without hands-on experience in drone operation in the field, JDO Drone School is different. Our instructors have extensive experience in drone operation for TV programs, live performances, research, surveying, and more, and will carefully guide beginners and experienced users alike. Our instructors train on-site every day and pass on continuously evolving information on aviation law and drone technology to our students.
Point.2
Not just about drones! Comprehensive JDO original course
Drones are expected to be incorporated into every industry in the future. At JDO Drone School, we have responded to various needs such as “I want to be a drone instructor,” or, “I want to use drones for surveying at construction sites,” and, “I want to edit videos filmed with a drone,” by building specialized courses such as the Instructor Course, Surveying Course, and Video Editing Course to support your drone use after obtaining a drone license.
Point.3
Study anytime, anywhere, and at your own pace with e-learning!
At JDO Drone School, we have adopted e-learning so you can cover the lecture contents of the course through video classes.

I took this course because I wanted to shoot aerial footage with a drone for promotion of tourist destinations. At JDO Drone School, the instructor teaches not only what is written in the textbook, but also gives pointers on what to keep in mind at a filming location based on their experience, so the course content is very practical and the knowledge I learned was very useful for capturing my own aerial shots!

I wanted to use drones for geological research surveys, so I took a course at JDO Drone School. I had never flown a drone before, but the instructions were easy to follow. I work as a faculty member at a university, and the decisive factor in taking the course was the fact that JDO was one of the few schools to offer an English curriculum for international students enrolled in seminars.
Mr. C

I’ve been using drones for work for a long time, but I decided to attend JDO Drone School because I wanted to have the correct drone knowledge and skills. I was satisfied with the course, and it exceeded my expectations by giving me advice not only on aviation law and drone technology, but for equipment as well.
