Abstrakt: Career and technical educators are often looking for new embedded industry certification opportunities to offer their high school and college students. Of the thousands of opportunities available, schools are often limited by which equipment they have on hand on which students can learn or limited by the specific knowledge and skills of their CTE teachers. Commercial drone piloting certification--often known as FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot's license--represents a unique opportunity for students to earn a government-sponsored industry certification without many of the barriers other industry certifications require. Students as young as 14-years of age can take the pilot's knowledge test (although it isn't valid for commercial operations until the pilot reaches 16-years of age) to earn the certification and no drone equipment nor actual drone flying experience is required. The test itself costs about $150+ and all study materials, including sample tests, are freely available online. For-pay learning modules are also available to students from a variety of sources.
