If you're considering doing your CASA certification, I'm blown away by training I started with FPV Australia.
They do most of the East Coast by the look of it. Possibly more.
I got stuffed around by a Company I'd have had to travel to go and do it with, and was relieved to find this local company. Then when the course started yesterday I was even more impressed:
The owner pointed out that if he just wanted us to get a tick in the boxes for CASA then he could teach the course, as he's a qualified Trainer and Assessor, but he wanted us to really learn, so he's hired experts from each field to teach it. The guys teaching air navigation have something like 50 years experience each, and REALLY know their stuff. And there was lots of hands on stuff for people who learn that way, mixed well with all the other ways of learning, so that whatever your style, you'll pick it up well.
Then they go over to a local Café for lunch, and any meal and any drink is part of the course cost, he says he does this so you can sit and chat with the instructors in an informal atmosphere away from the training centre, because when he first did his own CASA certification years before, it was sandwiches while sitting around the table they were learning at, with limited chance to just chat with an instructor.
I've only completed the first day, but I am really happy with the choice of company I went with. If you're looking for a company to do your RPAS certification, I doubt you'll find a better one.
