USI’s portfolio of eLearning programs will be offered at a 10% discount for all ALEA members. These programs include the Small UAS Safety Ground School Course, the Small UAS Safety Awareness Course, and new products as are they are developed in the future.

The Small UAS Safety Ground School is the industry’s leading training course for individuals seeking to operate UAS as professional remote pilots.  The program offers approximately 24-hours of self-paced content online and prepares the student to pass the FAA Unmanned Aircraft General (UAG) exam to obtain their Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate.  The program meets Part 107 requirements and exceeds FAA regulatory minimums with advanced flight safety training.  The Small UAS Safety Ground School is endorsed by many aviation insurance providers and is accepted by the FAA for WINGS credit.
