The program categorizes drone pilots with certain dexterity and knowledge. Badges are like certifications that qualify a pilot for job opportunities. This provides DroneUp with the ability to match pilots with the appropriate skills to the corresponding job niche, maximizing efficiency and client satisfaction. The program features a variety of objectives. When the badge is earned, it appears in the pilot’s profile on the DroneUp mobile app.
