Drone incidents are almost always noticed first by people who have never been trained for them. The online briefing on drone protection closes this gap: staff in companies, public authorities and facilities in need of protection learn to recognise drones and the hazards they can pose, to report observations correctly and to react properly in an emergency – without endangering themselves or overstepping legal limits.

The briefing follows the established principle of occupational safety instruction under § 12 ArbSchG (German Occupational Safety and Health Act) and is suitable for annual repetition for the entire workforce. It concludes with an online test; the “Drone Protection Briefing (DMA)” record can be verified digitally. The online briefing is the first step on the way to becoming a Drone Protection Officer (DMA).

Having passed the test, participants carry the title “Drone Protection Assistant (DMA)” – recognise, report, protect. Drone Protection Assistants (DMA) recognise drone incidents, trigger the reporting chain and support immediate measures to protect people and operations. The DroneMasters Academy recommends at least one briefed person in key functions per site and per shift.

Drone Protection Assistants (DMA) recognise and report. Those who carry responsibility within the organisation need more: over two days on site with an examination, the training as a Drone Protection Officer (DMA) covers the legal framework, risk analysis, processes and the interface with the authorities – with live demonstrations and hands-on flying.
