How long is the CASA RePL course?

The CASA RePL course usually takes 5 days, covering both theory and practical training. We offer accelerated or part-time options for those with prior aviation experience. All training meets CASA’s Part 101 Manual of Standards (MOS) requirements, ensuring you meet the necessary contact time for certification.

What’s included in the training package?

The package includes CASA-approved theory training, practical flight sessions, an Aeronautical Radio Operators Certificate (AROC), and all learning materials. You’ll also receive access to our student support team and guidance through your CASA licence application.

Is prior drone experience required before enrolling?

No prior experience is needed. Our instructors start with the basics and guide you through every step, from basic controls to advanced flight procedures.

Drone Training in Perth with Working Commercial Operators

FlyIQ by DIWA delivers CASA-approved drone training in Perth for pilots at every stage, from your first Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) to advanced BVLOS and EVLOS endorsements. What sets us apart is simple: our instructors are active commercial drone operators who fly real inspection and mapping missions, not full-time trainers working from a manual.

Our Perth Drone Courses

RePL (Sub-25kg Multirotor): the core commercial licence for most drone work in Australia, covering airspace, regulations, and hands-on flight training.
AROC (Aeronautical Radio Operator Certificate): required for operating in controlled airspace and communicating with air traffic.
BVLOS & EVLOS Training: advanced endorsements for beyond and extended visual line-of-sight operations, ideal for surveying, agriculture, and infrastructure inspection.
Team & Corporate Training: tailored group programs for businesses building in-house drone capability.

Why Train in Perth with FlyIQ

Our courses combine classroom theory with practical flying in small groups using real aircraft, so you leave genuinely job-ready rather than just certified. Because DIWA runs live commercial drone operations across Western Australia, you learn the realities of the job — weather calls, site safety, client expectations — from people who do it every week.
