What we offer
101 Fundamentals Course
Fenix UAS is excited to announce our new 101 Fundamentals course is available online!
This course is focussed on what you need to know to comply with the Part 101 rules for drone operations in New Zealand.
You will complete pre-recorded modules at your own pace, with a short assessment at the end of each module.
This course can be completed in preparation for an in-person course, instead of our in-person Part 101 course, or as a refresher course.

Live Online 102 Module
This course is for people who have completed a 101 course but need to upgrade to the 102-level Advanced UAS Remote Pilot Certificate for operating under a Part 102 certificate.
Learn about the broader legal framework for UAS operations including trespass and privacy, systems failures, accident and incident reporting under Part 102, and the Part 102 certification process, documentation, and expectations.
Delivered live online, you can attend this from wherever is most convenient for you, with the added benefit of there being an instructor who can answer your questions.

SMS for RPAS Operators Course
Fenix UAS is pleased to announce that this week we ran our first SMS for RPAS Operators course. The course starts with consideration of the cultural foundation required for an effective SMS and then looks at each of the elements included in the CAA’s SMS framework.
Based on the SMS in Practice course that has been offered to certificated operators in the traditional aviation sector, this course is tailored to the needs of RPAS operators who do not have a regulated requirement for a full Safety Management System (SMS).
SMS for RPAS Operators is particularly suited to larger organisations, but can also be helpful for smaller organisations looking to improve their safety management.
This is not a scheduled course. It is one that is available on request if there are sufficient numbers.
