AVOID THIS BUSINESS AT ALL COSTS: Worst experience ever, responded to a question on a Facebook Ag drone group and was pounced on by the owner who comes off like a used vacuum cleaner salesman. Once he realized I wanted to take my time with the purchase and wasn't going to buy right away, he became down right rude and insulting. Apparently, other people are coming forward with similar experiences. Like the other reviews, avoid this outfit at all costs!

Don't know what happened since the older reviews sound promising, but my experience is that this company is a scam. They start out being extremely responsive to communication and then as soon as you pay for the class, they ghost you. Once they have the money, you can't get a hold of them. My "instructor", after weeks of contacting attempts, told me he was "no longer with the company". Something's fishy...

I think from I am looking at the owner went broke and got screwed by FAA. Go somewhere is very good honest classes. It would be good ideas to find better place. I don't care if he doesn't show up or not. He is in a JAM!! Stay away from them would be a great idea.

I have to gladly thank this Academy for the information and help they provided me with. I like the honesty and ethics the people from the academy have. If you have any doubt or questions they will for sure clarity everything.

BEWARE - Signed up both my son and myself for Drone 107 Lectures (2 Days - 3hrs per day - 6 hours Total). Paid invoice. No one ever showed up to teach the class. Business neighbors said it happens all the time with this company. Spoke to the woman who registered us and she said she quit the company this weekend because the owner regularly schedules classes and doesn't show up. I have disputed credit card transaction with both the credit card company and with PayPal.

They are very knowledgeable and helpful. I attended a 6-hour FAA Part 107 RPIC Ground School and it was a great experience. James and his staff are very friendly and helpful. They have pretty nice equipment and facilities.

I arrived having never flown or owned a drone and left with the knowledge to pass my FAA Part 107 exam and a DJI Phantom 4 Pro. Truly a one stop shop for all of your drone needs. James and his crew are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do and are excited to share their knowledge and know-how.

I had to ship my drone to NJ Drone Academy from another seller because they were the US branch that did repairs for them. Jim from NJDA called me as soon as they received my drone for repair and kept me up to date all along the repair process. Repair was quick and Jim was very courteous throughout.

Best place to learn to build and fly UAVs. The learning facility has expanded, so there is much more room to learn, build, and fly. The faculty is great and very helpful. The classes are small, so you can grasp a better understanding of UAVs. On top of that, their store prices beat any other hobby store around (based on multiple hobby store prices around central/north NJ); they match online prices, and do not add shipping charges if they have to order an item. I highly recommend this company.

Small local family business, friendly/personal experience. The place provides training - one of the best places to learn how to fly UAV in East Coast. The instructors are very patient & knowledgeable.

I would like to make clear from the outset, my feedback regarding The NJ Drone Academy is a reflection of their business practices, and does not necessarily pertain to any other aspect of this operation to my knowledge.
