FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Innovative Drone Institute Launches No-Cost Revenue-Sharing Drone Training
Programs for Community Colleges
Turnkey Part 107 Remote Pilot Prep Course enables colleges to meet growing demand for
commercial drone pilots without upfront investment
[Thibodaux, Louisiana] - Innovative Drone Institute, a leading provider of online commercial drone pilot training, today announced the launch of its no-cost revenue-sharing program designed specifically for community colleges seeking to offer drone pilot training courses without financial risk or resource burden.
The comprehensive program addresses the rapidly expanding commercial drone industry, which continues to create thousands of new career opportunities across sectors including real estate, agriculture, construction, public safety, and infrastructure inspection. Community colleges can now offer students access to professional-grade drone pilot training with zero upfront costs and no need for specialized instructors or equipment.
"Community colleges are perfectly positioned to train the next generation of commercial drone pilots. The largest barrier, however, is the lack of resources or expertise to develop programs from scratch," said Greg Olsen, founder of Innovative Drone Institute. "Our revenue-sharing model eliminates all barriers to entry. Colleges can launch a professional drone training program immediately, with no upfront investment, no curriculum development costs, and no need to hire specialized faculty or purchase expensive equipment."
Zero-Risk Partnership Model
Under the revenue-sharing agreement, Innovative Drone Institute provides:
• Complete Part 107 Remote Pilot Prep Course curriculum
• Fully automated online course delivery through proven learning management systems
• 26 hours of structured instruction covering all FAA requirements
• Interactive quizzes and comprehensive practice exams
• Direct student support from certified instructors
• Regular curriculum updates to reflect FAA regulatory changes
Industry-Leading Pass Guarantee
Demonstrating the program's commitment to student success, the Innovative Drone Institute's Part 107 Remote Pilot Prep Course includes a unique Pass On First Attempt Guarantee. Students who complete all modules with a score of 85% or higher (multiple attempts allowed with only highest scores retained) and take the FAA exam within 30 days of completing the course receive a $175 reimbursement if they don't pass the FAA exam on their first attempt.
Flexible Partnership Options
Innovative Drone Institute offers three partnership models to accommodate different institutional needs:
• Revenue-Sharing: 25% revenue share with no upfront costs
• Campus License: Annual fee for co-branded course with unlimited student enrollment
• Custom Program: One-time fee for fully customized institutionally branded curriculum
Proven Track Record
Innovative Drone Institute has successfully partnered with numerous community colleges throughout the U.S. delivering comprehensive drone pilot training that meets rigorous academic standards while preparing students for real-world commercial applications. The curriculum covers essential topics including:
• FAA Part 107 regulations and compliance
• Airspace classification and airport operations
• Weather theory and meteorology
• Principles of flight and aerodynamics
• Radio communications
• Emergency procedures and aeronautic decision-making
• Aircraft loading and performance
• Maintenance and inspections
Meeting Workforce Demand
The commercial drone industry continues its rapid expansion, with the FAA projecting a continued growing need for certified remote pilots across all sectors. Community colleges offering drone training programs position their students for careers in high-demand fields while serving local employers seeking qualified operators.
"We've seen firsthand how structured, comprehensive training makes the difference between students who struggle with self-study materials and those who pass their FAA certification on the first attempt," Olsen added. "Our goal is to make this level of quality training accessible through community colleges nationwide."
