UAS Programs Offered

Certificate

CNM’s UAS Certificate of Completion is a two-term program that prepares you for real-world drone work across industries like construction, mapping, public safety, government, and film. You’ll learn the fundamentals of UAS safety, regulation, and flight operations, and log hands-on hours with both fixed-wing and multi-rotor airframes. The program emphasizes practical applications including high-precision measurement, mapping, surveying, and construction management. Coursework covers the full range of UAS workflows, from foundational skills to more specialized uses. Students who complete UAS 1011 (UAS Standards, Regulations and Law and Exam Prep) are eligible to sit for the FAA Part 107 exam, the standard certification for commercial drone operators.
