Drone University in Zimbabwe has become one of the world's first accredited institutions for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Maintenance Training. The Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe granted this license, authorizing the university to train certified drone repair technicians.
The intensive two-week course is open to individuals aged 18 and older with a technical background. Graduates will qualify as Remote Maintenance Technicians, a role mandated for all drone-operating companies under national aviation rules. University representatives reported overwhelming demand for these newly certified technicians, particularly from the mining and agricultural sectors.
This accreditation builds upon the institution's existing programs, which have trained over 700 drone pilots since its establishment as Zimbabwe's first licensed drone pilot school.
