DJI Drone Course

From Beginner to Real-World Creation

A 3-Level Learning Path

Thinking about learning drone flying but not sure where to start?

We’ve redesigned our course into 3 clear levels — taking you from basic operation, to creative expression, and finally to real-world production experience.

 

This is not just about “learning to fly” — it’s about using drones to create meaningful visual content.

Each intake runs with a specific theme and attendees work in teams to complete a project

What You’ll Experience

Drone Registration, Licensing, and Training Certificates in Hong Kong

 

We care about every step of the learning journey for all participants, and want everyone to have a clear understanding of the regulations and certification involved:

 

(1) Registration

  • Drones under 250g are considered "toy grade" and do not require registration.

  • Drones between 250g–7kg must be registered online with the Civil Aviation Department and pass a short online test. No license is required.

  • If you need support with registration, we offer full guidance and assistance throughout the process.

 

(2) License

  • Only drones exceeding 7kg or used for high-risk commercial operations require a license from the Civil Aviation Department.

  • Before providing any licensing advice or course information, we will confirm whether you are planning to use drones over 7kg.

  • For typical personal activities and equipment, a license application is not required.

 

(3) Training Certificate

  • Beets provides a training certificate for all participants who complete the designated training hours. This can be used for activity proof.

  • The certificate is not an official government license, but will benefit participants building their CV.
