Drone Course Singapore – Aerial Surveillance Training

As drones become cheaper and more versatile through the years, aerial surveillance and inspections with drones have also grown easier to carry out as compared to more traditional modes of surveillance and management. Public agencies across many industry sectors have already begun testing and even operationalising the use of drones in such areas, most notably by the SPF in surveillance and crowd control since 2016.

This course will equip participants with the know-how to operate aerial drones in the execution of surveillance and/or inspection tasks according to technical and operational specifications, specifically in the area of security. It will also cover the legal, operational, and safety considerations and requirements behind the planning and executing of such aerial surveillance/inspection operations.

This WSQ Aerial Surveillance Course is ideal for:

  • Individuals who want to build foundation skills in aerial drone operations, especially for surveillance or inspection tasks.
  • Learners preparing for more advanced drone licensing (e.g., Unmanned Aerial Pilot Licence – UAPL) with relevant authorities

Examples of roles that should attend WSQ Aerial Surveillance Course

Security and surveillance officers
Facilities and operations management staff
Built environment and infrastructure professionals involved in site monitoring
Safety, inspection, and compliance personnel
Individuals with a professional interest in aerial surveillance and drone‑based monitoring

I had a very disappointing experience at the Tampines outlet.

The front counter staff (seated on the left side, near the classroom entrance) provided poor customer service. I was having difficulty scanning the QR code and politely asked for assistance several times. Instead of offering help, she appeared unwilling to assist and displayed an unfriendly facial expression, making me feel very unwelcome.

For my second attendance, I noticed they are in lunch break, so I get her colleague called her out to assist me, she still looked unhappy and reluctant to help.

Customer service should be patient and professional, especially when customers are experiencing technical issues. I hope the management will look into this and improve the service experience at this outlet.
