About Course

The course will up-skill the candidates in the field of drone technology, the participants will obtain knowledge related to the application of drones in various field. The candidates will gain practical knowledge in building of a complete drone from scratch including the functioning of all the components. This will help the candidates of understand the technical aspects of drone building.

In addition to that the candidates will be given with pilot training of drone in simulator and in field for a certain hours to ensure the candidates are trained in operating the drone.

What Will You Learn?

  • The candidates will gain knowledge of latest drone technology and its applications.
  • Candidates can enhance their carrier in the field of drones.
  • The can learn basic operations of drone.
  • Simulation training will be provided to improvise the piloting skills.
  • Rules and regulation of drone according to DGCA is thought in the training.
  • The candidates will be able to assemble a complete drone including all the software programming and hardware connections with testing.
