Excellent experience with ACE Aviation…

Excellent experience with ACE Aviation for my Remote Pilot License (RePL) training. The course was well structured, and the instructors were highly knowledgeable and experienced. They explained everything clearly and made even the more technical airspace and regulatory content easy to understand.
The entire process, from the theory training through to the practical assessments, was smooth and well organized. I would highly recommend ACE Aviation to anyone looking to obtain their drone license. Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive throughout the training process!

Ace Aviation REPL

Throughout the process, Ace Aviations staff were very competent and communicative on clarifying and providing information on the steps to getting your remote pilot license. I found the whole experience to be fair and enjoyable and I would recommend it to others who are looking to get their license.

Honestly THE LEADERS in the industry

Honestly THE LEADERS in the industry! I had such a great experience with Ace Aviation. A few of my mates went with other academies, but I chose Ace mainly because it was closer to home and the dates worked better for me. Looking back, that was easily one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Everything just felt really well put together. The course was structured in a way that actually made sense, and the content wasn’t just thrown at you, it was explained properly so you could understand it and apply it. Their systems are also really solid, you can tell they’ve put a lot of effort into making things smooth for students.

What stood out the most was how much they actually care about getting you through it properly, not just rushing you through. The knowledge you walk away with feels real and useful.

Overall, I’m super happy with how it all turned out and I’d definitely recommend Ace Aviation to anyone thinking about getting their licence.

Clear, Practical, and Well Delivered

Excellent experience with Ace Aviation Aerospace Academy for my RePL and AROC course. Clear theory, hands-on practical training, and great team support from Mark, Johncy, and Mishu throughout. John, the practical trainer and assessor, was patient and clear. Well-organised, professional delivery. Highly recommended.

I decided to join ACE Aviation after a phone conversation with Mark (CEO and CRP), and that initial chat made a huge impression on me. He came across as extremely knowledgeable and genuinely passionate, which gave me a lot of confidence in choosing ACE.

Since then, I’ve completed my AROC, RePL, and ReOC through ACE Aviation. Mark’s subject matter expertise is outstanding and played a crucial role in helping me successfully prepare for my AeOC interview with CASA.

What really stood out to me was how approachable and supportive he is—always willing to help, answer questions, and go the extra mile.
Wishing Mark and the entire team continued success!

Ace Aviation top marks

I found Ace Aviation excellent to deal with. Their enrolment was easy so access to their portal was straight forward. Steps and support to complete the training was excellent. They explained the process after passing the training very well so you understand what happens next.

Ace Aviation is one of the most…

Ace Aviation is one of the most unprofessional and frustrating companies I have ever dealt with. Their communication is absolutely terrible—they don’t reply to texts, emails, or phone calls, and when they finally do, it’s usually full of excuses and delays. The information they give is misleading at best and outright lies at worst, making it impossible to trust anything they say. Schedules, promises, and timelines mean nothing to them, and you’re left constantly chasing answers with no results. There is a complete lack of accountability and professionalism, which is unacceptable for a flight training environment. I strongly warn anyone considering training with Ace Aviation to stay away and look elsewhere unless you want wasted time, money, and endless frustration.

This company is utterly disgraceful and…

This company is utterly disgraceful and operates on misrepresentation and false promises. I paid $4,159 for a so-called “Platinum” package that they have demonstrably failed to deliver.

The company repeatedly says they will deliver the outstaning training items in the package yet makes no genuine effort to provide the services that were paid for. Phone calls go unanswered, and follow-ups never occur. Digital material is poor with broken links, bad formatting and does not properly work.

My initial dealings with Mark, the owner, were polished and reassuring, clearly designed to secure payment. Once the money was taken, that professionalism vanished entirely.

This business is characterised by delays, broken commitments, and a complete lack of accountability and communication. It should be treated with extreme caution by anyone considering engaging their services. The most unprofessional business I have ever experienced. I have currently reported them to Fair Trading and the ACCC.

Just ghosted me after calling every 1.5 weeks

When I first looked at these guys they looked really great, got in contact and they answered my questions well. My problem came later on when I found a different drone school I wanted to do my RePL and ReOC through, well, they just ghosted me, no communication, no confirmation of cancellation, no refund, just left in the dark with ZERO communication from anyone over 2 weeks later!! Disgracful for a business to do this as this has also impacted on my own business!

I recently completed my drone training and licence with Ace Aviation and had an excellent experience. From the very beginning, the team was professional, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping every student succeed.

The instructors are highly knowledgeable and break down complex CASA rules and drone operations into easy-to-understand lessons. The practical flying sessions were especially valuable – not only did I gain confidence in handling different drones, but I also learned real-world safety procedures and industry best practices.

The course material was well structured, the training centre was well equipped, and the staff were approachable whenever I had questions. They also guided me through the paperwork and licensing process, which made things much smoother.

Overall, Ace Aviation has given me both the skills and confidence to operate drones professionally. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking to get certified or improve their drone flying knowledge.

Lost my exam papers and found them after 2 years

It took them two years to upload the documents to CASA for issuing the licence.

Student support was responding for several months but you could reach the sales team and they would attend the call immediately.

They just didn't care. They started working to find the papers only when I asked for a full refund.
They couldn't even offer to give some money back or any other compensation for their wrongdoings/delays.

Engaging and well paced training

Excellent training with all material being covered in a professional and easy to understand manner. The trainer made it very easy to grasp concepts I was not familiar with while keeping content I knew interesting and engaging

Highly recommend Ace Aviation!

I recently took the RePL and AROC courses at Ace Aviation Aerospace Academy as part of the Gold Package and had a fantastic experience. The trainer, Ray was great - super knowledgeable and very helpful.

I'm definitely excited to come back for the 25 kg drone training when the budget can cover it.

Highly recommend Ace Aviation!
