We do not currently have an online payment option, so all payments will need to be made at a training center.

After passing exams, students will receive a UTC Unmanned Aircraft Operator Certificate. Certificate type will vary depending on the specific course(s) taken.

Log in to the official website, choose a nearby training center, then go to the profile page of the training center.

Yes. We are currently in the process of opening more training centers around the world and building an international vocational skill certification system similar to those of Microsoft and Cisco.

The tuition for each course covers textbook fees, training fees, exam fees, and expenses for making certificates after students successfully pass the exam.

Regulations can vary depending on country or region. Pilots in some countries need to be licensed before operating UAVs. The holder of a UTC certificate is qualified in terms of practical skills and flight safety, but if you want to fly a drone legally, you should check and abide by all local rules and regulations.

It will take approximately 30 working days to receive your certificate after successfully passing the exam. Your certificate, along with others, will be shipped from UTC headquarters to each training center before your training center ships it to you.

Yes. UTC Unmanned Aircraft Operator Certificates are valid for two years. When your certificate is about to expire, UTC will assess technology advancements along with any changes in laws and regulations and decide if you should be retrained or take updated exams to renew your certificate. If only an exam is required, students just need to pay related fees and pass the exam to renew.

If your certificate is lost, contact the training center from which you graduated, then submit the required materials for re-application.

The exam consists of a written test and a flight test. Failing either will require a make-up exam. Students can take make-up exams immediately after failing. Make-up exams will be arranged after the normal exams of the day or postponed to be taken along with other students, depending on the local training center’s practices.

Please send your request to the local training centers you graduated for certificate renewal three months before the expiration date. We will only charge a small fee to reprint the certificate.

For all UTC exams, the pass rate is near 90%. Students who fail the exam will have two chances to try again.

This depends on your location. Consult your local training center for more information.

You must finish the course within three months of registration.

Every training center must meet our strict standards, so all of them are equally suitable and qualified for training.

Step 1: Apply for certification renewal.
There are two ways:
a) Go to your training center with your old certification and apply for the certification renewal in person.
b) Send an email to your training center with two photos; one of the previous certification, and the other of you holding your certification card. Please make sure the information on the two photos is clear without any obstruction.
Step 2: Verify the information.
After the application, the training center will check the certification information with you and help you with payment afterward.
Step 3: Settle the payment.
Please follow the instructions of your training center and settle the payment on time.
Step 4: Reissue the new certification.
After the payment, UTC HQ will start to issue the new certification. When the certifications are ready, UTC HQ will ship them to the local training center. The training center will ship the certification to you afterward, or you can pick it up in person. Normally, it takes 30 working days to issue a card. You can contact your training center to check the status.

You can submit your application directly to the local training center in your country or region. All the contact information is listed on the UTC official website. We highly recommend you to contact the training center from which you graduated. If it is not convenient, you can also choose the nearest training center.
