DJI Drone Course (Hong Kong)
 
From Beginner to Real-World Creation | A 3-Level Learning Path

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.
