Project Overview

As Guam’s leading drone service provider and education provider, 2cofly has trained and certified hundreds of drone pilots through school-based programs and online courses. However, recognizing the growing demand for in-person, hands-on training for individuals, we launched our very own private monthly Drone Masterclass—a comprehensive workshop designed to teach aspiring drone pilots everything from FAA Part 107 regulations to real-world drone operations.

With minimal marketing, the first workshop was fully booked, demonstrating the increasing interest in drone technology across Guam. The success of this initiative reinforced the importance of high-quality, accessible drone education, allowing us to directly connect with the next wave of pilots in our region.

The Challenge

While 2cofly has primarily worked with schools and institutions, there was no dedicated in-person workshop for individuals looking to break into drone piloting.

The key challenges included:

Providing an accessible training program for individuals outside of academic institutions
Delivering a workshop that covered both theoretical knowledge and practical flying skills
Ensuring that students gained real-world, career-ready experience in drone operations

The Drone Masterclass was created to fill this gap, offering a structured, expert-led workshop for individuals seeking FAA Part 107 certification and hands-on drone training.

Approach & Methodology

Comprehensive Drone Training Workshop

✔ FAA Part 107 Training – In-depth instruction on drone laws, airspace regulations, weather, and safety procedures

✔ Hands-On Flight Sessions – Practical training on pre-flight checklists, emergency procedures, and advanced drone maneuvers

Real-World Applications & Career Development

✔ Industry-Based Training – Students learned how to apply drones for mapping, aerial inspections, and data collection

✔ One-on-One Coaching – Our professional drone pilots worked directly with students, ensuring personalized guidance

Scouting Future Drone Pilots

✔ Direct Pipeline to Hiring – One standout student, Ratu Uluiviti, demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication. After completing the workshop and earning his FAA certification, 2cofly offered him a job as a drone pilot, proving that our training not only educates but also creates career opportunities.

Results & Project Impact

Strong Demand for Private Drone Training

Despite minimal marketing, the workshop was fully booked, highlighting the increasing demand for professional drone training in Guam.

Career Development & Industry Growth

By offering this workshop, 2cofly is actively building the local drone industry, helping individuals gain FAA certification and hands-on experience while creating job opportunities in the field.

A Direct Pathway to Professional Drone Careers

This program goes beyond training—it connects talented students with real career opportunities, as seen in the case of Ratu Uluiviti, who transitioned from student to professional drone pilot through our workshop.

Conclusion

The 2cofly Monthly Drone Masterclass has proven to be a highly successful initiative, providing aspiring drone pilots with the training, certification, and hands-on experience they need to launch their careers.

For individuals looking to become FAA-certified drone pilots, learn industry-specific drone applications, or gain real-world flying experience, our Drone Masterclass is the fastest and most effective way to get started.
