ACE Aviation packages start from $1,199 for the Silver Pilot package. See the package card for its included licence category and current terms.
How long does the RePL course take in Brisbane?
Start with ACE's online study materials in the student portal. They include comprehensive course content, recorded lectures, quizzes, practice exams and exam-preparation modules so you arrive ready for the instructor-led training. Complete three days of face-to-face virtual classroom theory with an ACE RPAS instructor via Zoom. The three days can be completed together or spread over up to 12 months. You then attend two practical and assessment days in Brisbane.
Where in Brisbane does the drone training run?
Training in Brisbane runs at real ACE venues: Upper Mount Gravatt (theory location), Underwood (practical location). Your exact venue and directions are confirmed when you enrol.
Do I need any experience before starting drone pilot training in Brisbane?
No. ACE Aviation's courses are designed for complete beginners through to experienced operators — instructors take you from the fundamentals to a confident, assessment-ready standard, and graduates get job support through the DroneWork platform.
