Industrial UAS Inspections and Safety Operations
Plan and conduct inspections that keep people back from the hazard, not just the drone in the air.
The industrial specialist level of the Apexis UAS Capability Development Programme — industrial inspection, asset monitoring and safety applications.
Contextualised to offshore and difficult-to-access asset inspection, asset integrity, pipeline monitoring, HSSE inspections and environmental monitoring — evidence gathered while people stay back from the hazard.

Walk out able to actually help.
Define a clear inspection objective and build a flight path and data-capture plan that meets it.
Collect accurate, repeatable photogrammetry and imagery suitable for inspection decisions.
Recognise process, physical and UAS-specific hazards on an industrial site and integrate your operation with existing HSSE and operational controls.
Organise inspection data securely and produce a report the asset owner can act on.

Built around the moment it matters.
Foundations of Industrial UAS Inspections
The role of UAS in industrial inspection, the assets you will encounter and their challenges, and where your professional scope as an operator begins and ends.
Inspection Planning and Objectives
Turning an inspection need into a defined objective, then selecting the right UAS and sensors and planning the flight path and data capture around it.
Photogrammetry and Inspection-Quality Data Capture
Photogrammetry fundamentals and the techniques for capturing accurate, repeatable imagery that stands up to scrutiny.
Industrial HSE for UAS Operations
Entering an industrial site safely, recognising process and physical hazards, and controlling risk in the area around your operation.
UAS-Specific Industrial Hazards
The hazards particular to flying in these environments, from navigation and signal problems to environmental and equipment risks.
Inspection Data, Documentation and Reporting
Organising your data, protecting its integrity, security and confidentiality, and producing the final inspection report.
Applied Inspection Scenarios
Realistic inspection scenarios, contextualised to your assets and recreatable at the Apexis Simulation Centre, in which you plan and conduct an inspection end to end.
Where this learning adds value.
Build practical capability you can apply immediately, and evidence of structured professional development.
Every programme sits on a pathway, so you can progress from foundation into the specialist streams your role or sector demands.
Contractors and suppliers are routinely asked to evidence trained personnel — structured training supports that case where the course is relevant.
Digital credentials can be independently verified online by employers and credential reviewers. Recognition requirements may vary by employer, jurisdiction, profession and certification type.
A certificate that carries weight.
Apexis Certificate of Completion
Issued by Apexis Risk Innovation Group on successful completion of the programme requirements. Where digital verification is enabled, employers can verify the credential record online.


Apexis Risk Innovation Group is an authorised TEEX Cooperative Learning Center. Selected Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) programmes delivered through Apexis are clearly identified by course name and code.
Who you learn it from matters.
Selected TEEX programmes are available through Apexis Risk Innovation Group, an authorised Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) Cooperative Learning Center, and are clearly identified by course name and code.
Programmes are designed by people who have done the job, around real workplace needs rather than textbook abstractions.
Content is contextualised to the operating environments our clients actually work in — energy, industrial, public safety and emergency response.
Every programme identifies who issues the credential, what it represents and how it can be verified.
