Best FAA Part 107 Courses — Compared

Dedicated Part 107 courses range from $129 (King Schools) to $299 at list price for the self-paced online course. Some sell the same certificate in pricier live or in-person formats: DARTdrones up to $670. Several sell below list price: Pilot Institute at $159 with code PART107BUNDLE, Drone Pilot Ground School at $249 with code RLH50, DARTdrones at $150, and Dronegenuity at $199. On Udemy, where independent instructors sell their own Part 107 courses, listings run from free to $99.99, though quality varies by instructor.

No. The FAA Part 107 exam tests knowledge drawn entirely from public-domain FAA regulations and publications. Many candidates pass using free resources, including the free 226-question practice bank at 107ready.com. A paid course offers structured learning, practice tests, and expert explanations that many students find helpful, but it is not required.

The cheapest option overall is on Udemy, where one Part 107 course is free and several practice-question banks are $19.99 — but these are individual instructors' listings, not a school, so there is no pass-rate claim or support behind them. Among dedicated purpose-built courses, King Schools at $129 is the lowest absolute price. Several sell below list price: Pilot Institute at $159 with code PART107BUNDLE, Drone Pilot Ground School at $249 with code RLH50, DARTdrones at $150, and Dronegenuity at $199.
