I signed up for the RePL "Flight Crew Transition Course" and the "Night Upgrade". I found the training to be nothing short of first class. Both Mark and Nick were highly professional and shared their many years of experience with our group which helped answer the dozens of questions we all had. I enjoyed learning on the smaller machines however the real fun started with the bigger ones. If you're thinking about getting this qualification I highly recommend the Ripper Academy. You won't be disappointed.

Just wanted to drop you an email to thank you for the opportunity to complete my RePL licence last Friday, 18th March. And to thank the weather gods for fine weather on Friday !
Also wanted to especially thank Mark and Nic who provided me with excellent flying instruction that allowed me to pass a very thorough and demanding Flight Test.
Malcolm Pooley RePL 7KG 25KG and Night - Sydney March 21, 2022
With drone filming tasking becoming more complex, we’d reached the limits of the CASA sub 2KG OPs 101-10.
Clients want and need reassurance that their supplier is competent and qualified.
Ripper training took me as the Principle of my business through REPL, Night Ops, 25KG rating, my radio certificate and ultimately the ReOC Certificate.
My experience with Ripper was seamless and time efficient.
We are planning Ops that we couldn’t contemplate before, One 500 metres from the Runway at Avalon!
Could not be happier with the process and outcome.
Thank you Darren and the back office team at Ripper!!

Recently completing my RePL through The Ripper Corp I was slightly apprehensive, however the instructional style and the way information was conducted allayed any issues as Darren was a very knowledgeable and professional instructor. The course was a pleasure to undertake and The Ripper Corp is highly recommended.

Our instructor – Darren – was exceptional with his knowledge and how the on line training sessions were facilitated. Any questions raised outside of the sessions were promptly and clearly responded to. This ensured we were well prepared for the theory and practicall examinations. Ripper are highly recommended to anyone contemplating formal training in RPAS

Excellent place to do drone training. The gents at The Ripper Aviation Academy are the real deal, have plenty of available practice drones on course so your never standing around waiting. Mike the Chief pilot has a wealth of experience and knowledge after a lifetime of experience in the aviation industry. If your looking at doing the course, look no further as you'd be cheating yourself going anywhere else.
Damien King July 10, 2020
Outstanding training, concise, professional, dedicated , and a course delivered with such a high level of professionalism, every day was a pleasure to log in and sit for my training. The academy's use of technology enabling me to join the course from the remote far south coast town of Eden NSW, also meant I could get on my way towards obtaining my ReOC much sooner than would have normally been possible.
