Drone Sales and Support
Wicked Copters provides bundled solutions with hardware as well.
CASA Certified Drone Training
Wicked Copters is the only CASA-certified drone training organisation approved to the new 10 January 2025 Manual of Standards (MOS) to offer up to 25kg Multi Rotor, Aeroplane, Helicopter and Powered Lift drone training. We also provide a number of specialised and industry-focused advanced courses.
We have the industry’s best practice instructor-to-student ratios - one instructor to two students in the field for Multi Rotor, and one on one for all other types. As new commercial drone models are increasing in capabilities and weight above 7kg (such as DJI Matrice 350), we recommend you complete a sub 25kg weight class wherever possible for future proofing your skill sets and employer demands. Wicked Copters is also approved by CASA for sub 150kg (Medium RePL).
Medium (sub 150kg) Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) by RPA Model
Wicked Copters offers a Rapid Agriculture Bundle which will get you trained and operating within 3 weeks! Find out more!
To operate a medium category RPA (sub 150kg) for commercial purposes, you will need to obtain a Type Rating / Accreditation via a flight test (e.g., DJI Flycart 30; DJI Agras T40, T50, T60; XAG V50, P100 Pro, P150; EAVision J100; etc) added to your existing RePL Multi Rotor (sub 7kg or 25kg) RePL.
Unlike other medium category drone traing organisations, we own our drones that we train and operate on. This means we can provide custom training dates and we have the most experience to pass onto you
We provide both manufacturer/model specific training and then the flight test. If you are an experienced operator contact us for flight test only.
XAG Agriculture
This uncrewed drone licence RePL training for a sub 150kg TRC XAG Model. Each model you operate will require a model specific TRC.
DJI Agras

Other Medium RPAs
Are you a manufacturer? We are able to add your RPA Model to our Training Approvals to undertake training for your organisation.
You must hold an existing RePL Multi Rotor (sub 7kg or 25kg {do not be fooled, you do not have to have the sub 25kg RePL}), if you do not have one we can provide you with a suitable training bundle.
Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) by RPA Type
This is a five day RePL course for students and includes your Radio Licence (AROC) and English Language Proficiency (ELP). Your RePL allows you to operate drones commercially in the excluded category or under a Remote Operators Certificate (ReOC). You will need to have accreditation to fly the correct type (e.g. Multi Rotor) and category (e.g Small, up to 25kg).
Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) by Pathway
CASA has different pathways to obtain or vary a RePL:
- Flight Crew Licence holders (RPL, PPL, CPL, ATPL, ATC or equivalent) can obtain their RePL without having to complete the full RePL course.
- Existing RePL licence holders can add a new type or upgrade the category of their existing licence.
- The full RePL course applies to those with no Flight Crew Licence or existing RePL.
Initial Issue
Obtain your initial Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) with no manned aviation experience or existing RePL.

Altitude with Attitude
We are the only CASA-Approved drone training organisation to have Multi Rotor, Aeroplane, Helicopter and Powered Lift RPA’s up to 25kg as well as Multi Rotor up to 150kg (Model Specific).
As we build, customise, modify and operate most drone types commercially, our team of pilots and instructors know the practical capabilities and applications of drones and software suitable to your needs.
To be fully Part 101 Manual of Standards (MOS) compliant and hold a manual licence of value to your employer or business, we ensure that you can fly all types in non-GPS modes.
That is why we teach you to fly the types below in full compliance with the Part 101 MOS:
- Multi-Rotors (Electric): GPS, Attitude, Waypoint and Tethered Training included.
- Aeroplanes (Petrol and Electric): Hand and ground launch, manual, stabilised and GPS enabled flight
- Helicopters (Petrol, Nitro and Electric): Manual, stabilised and GPS enabled flight
- Powered Lift (Electric): GPS, transition and Attitude mode, including aeroplane and multi rotor competencies
Our courses are in depth, fully MOS compliant and yet enjoyable with our aim to have small class numbers and one instructor to two students in the field for Multi Rotor, and one on one for all other types.
In addition, we provide complex and non-complex ReOC consultations, audit preparations, documentation / specialised procedures (such as night and tethered operations) and Maintenance Controller / Chief Remote Pilot Training.
