SAMT

Drone & UAS training in Saudi Arabia, from understanding to application.

SAMT drone and UAS courses cover remote-pilot foundations, flight and maneuvering, aerial photography, survey and spatial-data workflows, and specialist inspection, while clearly separating online theory from optional field components where defined.

Drone training certificate and regulatory licence

SAMT certificates are internal certificates of completion, not a drone licence, operating permit or GACA accreditation. SAMT-107 teaches Saudi context, GACAR Part 107 and the remote-pilot knowledge pathway; any regulatory licence or approval remains subject to the competent authority and current requirements.

Flight-to-Field

A clear learning path from foundation to review

The current framework connects knowledge, planning, flight, application and debrief without implying that every program physically includes every stage.

  1. 01FOUNDATION — build the base
  2. 02PLAN — prepare the mission or task
  3. 03FLY — transition into flight and operation
  4. 04APPLY — apply within the defined program scope
  5. 05DEBRIEF — review and improve

The methodology is applied according to each program and scope; showing the framework does not imply that every program physically includes every stage.

Training paths

Choose by objective. The portfolio is not a universal mandatory prerequisite chain unless a specific scope explicitly requires it.

Foundation · Online Only · 4 days / 24 hours

SAMT-107

A structured regulatory and operational knowledge foundation for remote-pilot work, with Saudi/GACA context as the primary frame.

  • Saudi and GACA context is the primary frame
  • FAA Part 107 content, when used, is companion reference context
  • Useful as a knowledge base before testing or specialist development
View program

Foundation · Online 3 days / 18 hours

SAMT-FLY

Aircraft control fundamentals, preparation, batteries, takeoff/landing concepts, maneuvering and operational safety.

  • Optional separate field add-on: 1 day
  • Focuses on control, preparation, maneuvering and operational safety
  • Can support later specialist paths without being a universal mandatory prerequisite
View program

Specialist / Applied · Online 3 days / 18 hours

SAMT-CINE

Aerial photography and cinematic language: camera settings, composition, aircraft/gimbal movement, shot planning and continuity.

  • Optional field add-on: normally 1–3 days and may expand for larger teams
  • Shot planning and footage review are part of the path
  • Connects camera settings with aircraft/gimbal movement and visual composition
View program

Specialist / Technical · Online 5 days / 30 hours

SAMT-GEO

Drone-enabled spatial data collection covering mission planning, GSD, overlap, GNSS/RTK/PPK, photogrammetry, LiDAR and QA/QC.

  • Optional field add-on: normally 1–3 days and may expand with scope/team size
  • LiDAR theory is included; hands-on work depends on equipment and conditions
  • Covers mission planning, photogrammetry, LiDAR and QA/QC review

Customized / Modular

SAMT-INS

A flexible specialist inspection program built around Inspection Core, one or more specialist tracks, and field application/review as scoped.

  • Oil, Gas & Industrial Utilities
  • OHTL / Power-Line Inspection
  • May cover RGB / Zoom / Thermal / UV / LiDAR and VT / UT / IR when appropriate to scope and equipment
  • Built around asset type, sensors, evidence collection and review workflow

Training on a schedule that fits the need

Individuals do not need to wait for a public cohort. Organizations can request private team delivery, subject to trainer availability and the agreed plan.

Individuals

Request a private schedule directly. Optional field components remain separate when the program source defines them that way.

Organizations

Dedicated cohorts can be tailored around the team, and field days/hours may expand for larger groups to preserve practical application time.
