Unmanned Operator Certification

    for UAS service providers and end users

    As a commercial UAS, or drone, operator, broker or end user, you want to know if your operation or the service providers you engage are systematically managing risk and operating under the highest professional safety and quality standards in the industry. 

    Organizations may look the same on paper, but who has the better risk profile and can demonstrate that to project stakeholders?

    Current EXACT Certified Operators work across all industries and verticals including public safety, mining, accident reconstruction, newsgathering, insurance, search and rescue, humanitarian, real estate, movie and television filming, precision agriculture,  aerial photography, surveying, sports and special event filming, forestry, oceanographic and other commercial, defense, enterprise, and government sectors.
