GDA trains military and civilians, with no difference in the training programs. A civilian today may become military tomorrow and must apply the knowledge and skills gained in combat situations. Global Drone Academy has ambitious development plans for 2024, including opening branches in all regions of Ukraine, attracting new partners, and expanding into international markets.

Modern warfare requires drones, and victory demands experienced pilots. That’s why we train military personnel six days a week to become professional drone pilots while ensuring their safety as they defend Ukraine. Over 2,000 pilots have already been trained.

Global Drone Academy actively participates in the ‘Army of Drones’ project and invites everyone interested to join our training.
