Who Should Enrol — Is CASA Licencing Pathway Right for You?
New to Commercial Drones
No prior licence or experience required. Module A is the starting point for anyone who wants to fly commercially and legally in Australia.
Farmers & Ag Operators
If you're purchasing an ag drone like the DJI Agras T100 for commercial spraying or mapping operations, a RePL is legally mandatory.
Contractors & Small Business
Any sole trader or business providing drone services for commercial purposes — photography, inspection, survey — requires a CASA RePL.
Corporate Operators
Companies requiring individual staff members to hold personal commercial licences for insurance, compliance, or tendering requirements.
Recreational Upgrades
If you already fly recreationally and want to monetise your skills — providing services, consulting, or operating commercially — a RePL unlocks that pathway.
Mining & Resources
Staff conducting drone-based site inspection, survey, or monitoring at commercial sites often require personal RePL credentials to satisfy site access policies.

Common Questions About CASA Licencing Pathway
Everything you need to know before enrolling in your CASA licencing pathway
No prior flying experience is required. Module A is designed for complete beginners. Our structured pre-enrolment briefing and blended learning pathway will guide you from zero experience to CASA RePL certification. All practical flight training is supervised by certified instructors.
RePL (Remote Pilot Licence) is the standard CASA commercial drone licence that allows you to operate drones for business purposes. AROC (Agricultural Remote Operator Certificate) is an additional accreditation specifically for agricultural operations, including chemical spraying and fertiliser application. Many agricultural drone operators require both credentials.
Typically 4–8 weeks from enrolment to licence issuance. The 5-day intensive training course covers theory and practical flight. After successful assessment, CASA usually processes your licence application within 2–3 weeks. Our team assists with all paperwork to expedite the process.
No, you do not need to own a drone. All training equipment, including DJI enterprise drones, is provided during the practical flight training sessions. You’ll have access to professional-grade equipment to complete your flight hours and assessment.
