Yes, the private companies that train you issue you certificates of completion and instructor endorsements just as if you got typed in a Citation.

Eventually you're going to see the FAA issue airmen certificates for UAV's and your "types" will be listed just the same.

Most companies are just ahead of the curve.

Ah....company issued *types*.
Being ahead of the curve is one thing. To say that types are being issued in the context of this forum (meaning the FAA is issuing UAV type ratings) is another and did not mke sense.
Thanks for the clarification.

The FAA issued several new UAV Type Certificates for airframes last month. Within two years you'll see officially recognized "type ratings" I bet.

They're already requiring that operators applying for COA's in the NAS have staffed commercial pilots and that observers all have Class II medicals.
