LEARN HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF DRONES

Most people have seen a drone before and understand the basics of what they are but the advances in drone technology and applications are ever expanding. There are a range of different drone types with features and benefits best suited to a wide range of applications.

  • The multitude of uses for drones are increasing from agriculture, real estate, construction, telecommunications, land management and much more. 
  • As drones can be produced cheaply and can often operate in environments where humans can not, the opportunities for using drones are increasing.
  • The Drone Technology course will help you learn about drones and how to use them, it can add efficiencies and increase production.

This course was written for people who want to understand how drones operate, what to look for when selecting your own drone, factors to consider when operating drones, current uses of drone technology and future developments to look forward to.

 

This may be a very useful course for you, if:

  • You want to buy your own drone but do not know what features to look for or what any of the terminology means.   
  • You are interested in the different applications for drones in commercial, research or recreational areas.It provides a solid introduction to understanding types of drone available and why they are chosen for different applications.
  • It describes what the hardware in the drone is and what it does.

The course will be useful for everyone from a novice to a recreational flyer wanting a better understanding of how drones work to those simply wanting to learn about what the technology is and how it can be used.
