SAMT

Training that starts with understanding and builds toward usable capability.

SAMT programs develop knowledge, practical judgment and a path toward application, while clearly separating online theory from optional field components where defined.

An adult learner in a practical study setting.

Program and certificate status

SAMT programs are independent guidance/training programs. They are not presented as regulator- or education-accredited programs unless a separate approved source explicitly says so. Current SAMT certificates are internal completion certificates, not government licences or professional accreditation.

Flight-to-Field

A clear learning path from foundation to review

The current framework connects knowledge, planning, flight, application and debrief without implying that every program physically includes every stage.

  1. 01FOUNDATION — build the base
  2. 02PLAN — prepare the mission or task
  3. 03FLY — transition into flight and operation
  4. 04APPLY — apply within the defined program scope
  5. 05DEBRIEF — review and improve

The current model does not include a simulator stage, and SAMT does not claim simulator-based training in these programs.

Training paths

Choose by objective. The portfolio is not a universal mandatory prerequisite chain unless a specific scope explicitly requires it.

Foundation · Online Only · 4 days / 24 hours

SAMT-107

A structured regulatory and operational knowledge foundation for remote-pilot work, with Saudi/GACA context as the primary frame.

  • Does not issue a licence or regulatory approval
  • FAA Part 107 content, when used, is reference context rather than a Saudi licensing requirement
  • Useful as a knowledge base before testing or specialist development
View program

Foundation · Online 3 days / 18 hours

SAMT-FLY

Aircraft control fundamentals, preparation, batteries, takeoff/landing concepts, maneuvering and operational safety.

  • Optional separate field add-on: 1 day
  • Does not claim to make a participant a professional pilot by itself
  • Can support later specialist paths without being a universal mandatory prerequisite
View program

Specialist / Applied · Online 3 days / 18 hours

SAMT-CINE

Aerial photography and cinematic language: camera settings, composition, aircraft/gimbal movement, shot planning and continuity.

  • Optional field add-on: normally 1–3 days and may expand for larger teams
  • Shot planning and footage review are part of the approved direction
  • Completion alone is not a claim of professional cinematographer status
View program

Specialist / Technical · Online 5 days / 30 hours

SAMT-GEO

Drone-enabled spatial data collection covering mission planning, GSD, overlap, GNSS/RTK/PPK, photogrammetry, LiDAR and QA/QC.

  • Optional field add-on: normally 1–3 days and may expand with scope/team size
  • LiDAR theory is included; hands-on LiDAR is only stated when equipment and conditions are confirmed
  • Does not confer professional surveyor status or guaranteed accuracy
View program

Customized / Modular

SAMT-INS

A flexible specialist inspection program built around Inspection Core, one or more specialist tracks, and field application/review as scoped.

  • Oil, Gas & Industrial Utilities
  • OHTL / Power-Line Inspection
  • May cover RGB / Zoom / Thermal / UV / LiDAR and VT / UT / IR when appropriate to scope and equipment
  • No NDT Level I/II, ASNT certification or automatic engineering diagnosis claim

Training on a schedule that fits the need

Individuals do not need to wait for a public cohort. Organizations can request private team delivery, subject to trainer availability and the agreed plan.

Individuals

Request a private schedule directly. Optional field components remain separate when the program source defines them that way.

Organizations

Dedicated cohorts can be tailored around the team, and field days/hours may expand for larger groups to preserve practical application time.

Define the outcome. We will help choose the path.

Select a known program or describe the training need. The request flow scopes the requirement; it does not generate an automatic final quote.
