Precision Digital Captures

Survey-grade reality capture

We capture the asset, or you become the one who captures it.

Survey-grade 3D models and deliverables of the built world. Plus the training that turns pilots into advanced commercial operators. Same standards. Same precision. Two sides of one practice.

Our Short-Course gets you Certified. The Long-Course takes you Commercial.

Both run inside the same working commercial operation. Same instructors, same equipment, same standard. The difference is how far you go. Step up from one to the other within 14 days of finishing the short course.

Self-paced module library, included.

Every course includes the full PDC module library to work through at your own pace after the live course closes. Not required to complete during the course. Reference material you'll come back to across weeks and months as you build your skills.

The credential stack

Four credentials. Stacked in your name.

Neither course issues a single certificate. Both issue a stack. Different credentials for different audiences: the regulator, the software industry, and the client who needs somebody they can trust with their asset. The stack is what opens the door.

Commercial Drone Operators Certificate

CASA · Both courses

The legal credential that authorises commercial drone operations in Australia. Earned before Day 1 through the pre-course. Every serious client and insurer asks for it by name.

Both courses

PIX4Dmatic Certified Operator

Pix4D · Long course

Verification on the photogrammetry platform the industry standardises on. Examined on the final day. Places the operator on Pix4D's global register of certified professionals.

Long course

PDC Advanced Aerial Surveying

PDC · Long course

Confirms the operator can produce a full commercial deliverable. Pipeline, quality control, and advanced extraction, assessed against the production-grade criteria PDC holds its own commercial work to.

Long course

PDC Introduction to Aerial Surveying

PDC · Short course

Confirms the operator has completed the entry-level program. Flight preparation, a live field day, and a processing pipeline run end to end on real data. The gateway into the industry.

Short course
Legal to fly

Proves the operator is legal. Every commercial drone operation in Australia runs under a CDOC. CASA requires it before the aircraft leaves the ground.

Knows the software

Proves the operator knows the platform engineers and asset managers already trust. Verification is not a printed certificate. It is a place on Pix4D's global register of certified operators.

Can deliver commercially

Proves the operator can produce the work. Long-form graduates are assessed against the same production-grade criteria PDC holds its own commercial work to. A full deliverable package, reviewed line by line.

Ready for the field

Proves the foundation. Short-form graduates leave with a completed processing pipeline, a live field day, and the discipline to move into commercial work on their own.
