Draganfly Inc. an award-winning, industry-leading drone solutions and systems developer, is pleased to announce that Alabama State University is offering the Draganfly Drone Technology Course through ASU’s Division of Continuing Education.
Draganfly’s experienced team is sharing their vast industry knowledge with a variety of ASU faculty members and students. The program provides an introduction to unmanned aerial vehicles and explores advanced topics including regulations, airspace operations, and navigation.
“Being able to learn from the experts at Draganfly is an incredible opportunity. As more businesses and governments turn to drones, it is crucial for us to understand how to meet their needs effectively,” said O’Nesha Burke, an ASU student and recipient of the Draganfly Drone Pilot Scholarship.
Draganfly’s Drone Technology Course includes a Federal Aviation Administration Part 107 drone preparation course. To fly drones under the FAA’s Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Rule a Remote Pilot Certificate must be obtained. The certificate demonstrates that pilots understand the regulations, operating requirements, and procedures for safely flying drones.
“As drone demand continues to rise, so does the need for technologically-proficient workers. We are grateful for the opportunity to further expand our partnership with ASU and provide a robust technology program that properly prepares students for the future,”
Cameron Chell, President and CEO of Draganfly
“Following the success of the Drone Pilot Training Program last year, we are thrilled to be working with Draganfly once again to provide industry-leading drone education,” said Dr. Quinton T. Ross Jr., President of ASU. “Draganfly continues to ensure our students have the knowledge and skills required for a rewarding career in the rapidly growing drone space.”
