This comprehensive online program shares in depth all the major applications of drones and drone-based data in context of development. We will be covering the basics of drone technology and understand the applications through discussions on case studies, simulating the projects, and having hands-on exercises on various software platforms. We have collaborated with global leaders in drone technology to bring to you the best-in-class learning opportunity. 

​

This is an intensive course and would need lots of active involvement from your side. We have worked hard to make this course challenging as well as exciting. The course is designed to make you think, act, lead and collaborate - the values that we think are most important in making authentic applications of technologies such as drones and data. 

​

Prior knowledge of drones or having a drone is not at all necessary. This course is most useful for students and professionals who will be using drone technology for development projects.

 

This course is not a drone pilot certification or licensing course and will not lead to authorization from civil aviation to fly drones.

​

We hope you make the most of this opportunity and not just learn, but lead the most valuable drone operations for your community!
