The demand for drone technology has grown significantly across various sectors in Kenya, including agriculture, security, filmmaking, and surveying. To support this growth, the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) oversees the licensing, regulation, and monitoring of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)—commonly known as drones—and the institutions that train drone operators.
KCAA also authorizes Unmanned Aircraft Systems Training Organizations (UTO), ensuring that drone pilots receive standardized and safe training.
Setting Up a Drone Training School in Kenya
To establish a licensed drone training institution in Kenya, KCAA requires applicants to:
- Pay an initial certification fee of Ksh 80,000
- Renew the certification annually at a cost of Ksh 50,000
These fees cover inspection, regulatory compliance, and monitoring of training quality.
