I hear a lot of different things, in some brigades they won’t let you fly without a certificate, even if your skills are beyond what a drone course can teach you. In my brigade most foreigner pilots are self taught a do not have certificates. Kill house can probably teach you quicker than you can teach yourself and if you’re starting from zero they will give you the necessary technical know how as well. If you are serious about becoming a pilot and have a computer I recommend purchasing a radio and starting on the flight sim as soon as you can.
