Attention MOOC participants: There appears to be some confusion on what you are going to get out of this course. If you do activities in order to obtain a completion certificate (or Record of Attendance), this is NOT a certificate to fly under the FAA or any other nation's rules and it is NOT a Remote Pilot Certification. This is an important distinction to make. We have included information on the steps you must take to obtain certification to fly and how to fly recreationally, but realize that there is no link between a course credential here and authorization to fly. The course information arms you with what you need to further pursue flight certification where applicable.
