Robert Dobbin 3iC Drone Pilot Instructor Leading Northern Ireland’s Drone Revolution in 2026.

Robert Dobbin • March 23, 2026

Proud to share a snapshot of the work we’re doing at Drone Pilot Training Academy to raise the standard of drone skills, safety, and professionalism across Northern Ireland.


For 8 years, I’ve been committed to building a training pathway that genuinely supports drone pilots—from their very first take‑off to full commercial proficiency. Today, my Drone Pilot Training Academy continues to grow as a trusted hub for photographers, surveyors, SAR teams, emergency services, and businesses who rely on drones for real‑world operations in Northern Ireland.


What sets my training apart is simple:
Structured learning, industry‑aligned coaching, and a safety‑first approach backed by 3iC accreditation.


From 3iC A2 CofC and 3iC GVC certification to DJI flight simulator training, every drone pilot receives the guidance they need to fly with confidence and competence.


It’s been a privilege to help hundreds of drone pilots launch safe, successful aerial services—and i am only getting started.
📍 Based in Carryduff, delivering training across Northern Ireland
📈 Beginner → Intermediate → Commercial Proficiency
If you’re ready to elevate your drone skills or expand your business with aerial services, I’m here to help you take that next step.
