Why DroneVerse

FPV is the hardest — and most rewarding — way to fly

FPV drones are flown in full manual mode through goggles: the flying behind cinematic chase shots, race footage and one-take fly-throughs. The skills are in real commercial demand. We teach them properly.

🎮

Simulator-first

Log 20+ hours on professional FPV simulators with real radio controllers before you ever arm a real drone. All the crashes happen on screen — not on your wallet.

📋

A real curriculum

Not YouTube guesswork. Twelve structured weeks: simulator foundations → ground school → supervised real flight, with certificates at each stage.

🛡️

Legal & safe

Ground school covers KCAA regulations, and every real flight runs under our KCAA-approved training partner with certified instructors and trained observers.

🚁

Taught by working pilots

Learn from the DroneVerse crew flying commercial FPV shoots across Kenya — the same people, the same gear, the same standards.

The Programme

From goggles-on to graduation in 12 weeks

A deliberate progression. You don't touch a real drone until your hands already know what to do.

Weeks 1–5

Simulator Foundations

Real FPV radios, pro simulators. Hover, turns, precision and freestyle basics — in acro (full manual) mode from week two.

Weeks 6–8

Ground School

KCAA regulations & airspace, drone hardware, LiPo battery safety, flight planning and emergencies. Written exam + Foundations certificate.

Weeks 9–12

Real Flight

Indoor micro-drones, then open-field FPV through goggles. Gates, precision, emergency drills — and your own 30-second cinematic FPV line as a graduation project.

Questions

Good to know

Do I need my own drone?

No. All radios, simulators, drones and goggles are provided throughout the programme. You need nothing but yourself.

Do I need any experience to start?

None at all. The programme is built for complete beginners — that's exactly why we start on simulators. If you can play a video game, you can start FPV.

Is this a KCAA licence course?

DroneVerse issues its own certificates. The KCAA Remote Pilot Licence (RPL) is issued through KCAA-approved training organisations — our programme prepares you for it, and our approved training partner handles the licensing pathway for graduates who want it.

What's the difference between Foundations and the Pilot Track?

Foundations (KES 35,000) is the 6-week simulator course plus ground school and a certificate — no real drone flying. The Pilot Track (KES 85,000) is the full 12 weeks and adds the supervised real-flight phase: indoor micro-drones then open-field FPV through goggles.

How much does it cost?

FPV Taster KES 3,500 · Foundations KES 35,000 · Pilot Track KES 85,000 · Corporate & STEM workshops from KES 60,000/day. Pay 10% less on Foundations & Pilot Track if you pay in full by 13 October 2026.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. A 50% deposit confirms your seat; the balance is due before Week 3. You can pay by card or M-PESA online, or via M-PESA Paybill 4006167.

When does Cohort 1 start and when does enrolment close?

Cohort 1 starts Monday 20 October 2026. Enrollment closes Friday 17 October 2026, and seats are capped at 8 per cohort.

How long is the programme and how often do classes run?

Twelve weeks, two sessions a week, two hours each — about 48 contact hours. Choose the weekday-evening (5–7pm) or Saturday-morning stream.

Where are classes held?

The DroneVerse Training Room in Nairobi. The exact address is shared on enrolment. Corporate and STEM workshops can be delivered at your venue.

Is FPV flying legal in Kenya?

Yes, when done correctly. Simulator and classroom phases need no licence. Real flights happen only in the supervised flight phase, conducted under the approvals of our KCAA-approved training partner, with a trained visual observer as the law requires.

What is FPV and how is it different from a normal drone?

FPV (First-Person View) drones are flown manually through goggles, as if you're sitting in the cockpit. Unlike camera drones, there's no GPS hold or auto-level — it's pure piloting skill, which is why it looks so cinematic and why we train it on simulators first.

What will I be able to do after graduating?

Fly FPV in full manual (acro) mode, run precision lines and gates, handle emergencies, and film a cinematic FPV shot. Graduates get a referral pathway to the KCAA RPL and opportunities with the DroneVerse crew.

I'm under 18 — can I join?

Yes, with guardian consent.

Do you offer corporate, school or team workshops?

Yes — half or full-day FPV simulator experiences for up to 12 people, at your venue or ours, with an optional live FPV demo flight. From KES 60,000/day.

Are fees refundable?

Fees are non-refundable after Week 1 but are transferable to the next cohort if your plans change.
