I would like to first, and foremost, thank Jeff and Carolina Drone Academy for the exceptional FAA 107 UAS course that I took part in! The professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly to me...ease of which Jeff communicated the material made it seem like I was more than ready to pass my examination when I walked out of the class (which I was...and most certainly did)! The level of personal interest in your success is taken to the highest level...before, during, and even after you walk out the door! Do yourself a favor and give them a call, you’ll be glad you did!

I highly recommend Carolina Drone Academy! Jeff's knowledge and expertise, combined with the ability to break down the material to a level that anyone can understand was so helpful to me. I'm sure it's what helped me pass my part 107 exam. Jeff is also very patient with his students and genuinely cares about their success. When you sign up with Carolina Drone Academy, you're not just taking a test prep class, you're gaining a valuable resource to the drone community.

Well laid out training manual. Doing the quizzes after each section and then taking the practice test helps reinforce the concepts.

Every aspect of the instruction and material well conceived, crisply and clearly executed. I really liked the thought and emphasis placed on retention aspects - specifically the manual note taking. Great balance between notes given vs notes taken.

Had training with Jeff on flying drones. Was a great experience! It was very informative and got to spend a lot of time flying. I now feel comfortable getting started.

Material was well covered. The class provided more content than anticipated & expectations were high. Small class set up provided more interaction, depth, review and overall content than other courses. I got a great deal out of it. Look forward to continued training and course offerings.

Thanks to this class, I now have my 107! Before I came in I found the material a bit daunting but the course helped break down the material in such straight forward way. The thorough curriculum covers all material necessary to pass the 107 Exam and had me leaving the class room fully prepared and confident in passing the test. I would highly recommend seeking out courses through Carolina Drone Academy if you have any desires of pursuing commercial use of drones.

Really appreciated small class size. Made it easy to ask questions and get feedback. There is a ton of information, but Jeff presented the material very well.

the course was very informative. It went far beyond what I thought I would learn, and in areas I had not considered for drones. The presenter was very engaging with interesting stories.

Carolina Drone Academy is great! I took the two day FAA Part 107 course to prepare for the UAG Exam. Without Jeff Hemming's class I would have been lost come exam time. He helped me to not only prepare to pass the exam but to begin my drone videography career with the confidence and knowledge necessary to be a successful and safe drone pilot. I would strongly encourage anyone, even if your hobbyist, to check out some of their classes. I'm looking forward to a great future implementing drone videography and photography into my work. Thanks Jeff and Carolina Drone Academy!
