As Malaysia accelerates its adoption of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in industries ranging from agriculture to oil and gas, the need for standardized, professional training has never been more critical. Drone Malaysia stands at the intersection of regulatory compliance and technological innovation.
In this post, we explain the three pillars that form the foundation of our academy and why they are vital for any aspiring drone professional or enterprise looking to build a drone department.
CAAM Compliance: The Legal Foundation
The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) regulates all civil aviation activities. In the world of drones, this means following the Civil Aviation Directives (CAD) 6011.
Our RCoC-B (Remote Pilot Certificate of Competency - Basic) training covers:
- Air Law & Flight Safety
- UAS Airspace Management
- Meteorology for UAS
- Risk Assessment (SORA)
Operating commercially without CAAM approval isn't just a risk; it's a liability. We ensure our pilots are fully equipped to handle legal inspections and maintain high safety standards in the field.
DJI ATC: Access to Elite Tech
Being a DJI Authorized Training Centre (ATC) means our curriculum is derived from DJI's global UTC (Unmanned Systems Training Center) standards.
This partnership provides our students with a unique advantage: hands-on experience with the latest enterprise-grade hardware that drives the industry. Instead of learning on consumer drones, our students master:
Matrice 350 RTK
Agras T50
Mavic 3E Thermal
A DJI certification is globally recognized, allowing our graduates to find opportunities not just in Malaysia, but in international markets across the world.
HRD Corp: Upskilling for Free
HRD Corp certification is our commitment to Malaysia's economic growth. We believe that professional drone training should be accessible to all companies, from SMEs to GLCs.
Under the HRD Corp SBL-Khas scheme, registered employers can claim 100% of the training costs, including:
- Professional Course Fees
- CAAM Examination & Registration Fees
- Practical Assessment Logistics
This initiative helps local businesses integrate drone technology without the upfront financial burden, fostering a more tech-savvy and competitive Malaysian workforce.
