What Students Are Saying

"Excellent explanations! I’m very excited with this course. I’ve learned new things and it's very useful. Thank you very much for such a great job." - Aurelian

"The instructor puts everything very simply, following a logical order which is very applicable in practice. The explanations are for those who have never flown a drone before or for those who are attempting their first flight and are a bit scared (my case!). Highly recommended. The instructor speaks English very clearly, without the use of slang or mannerisms, which makes everything very clear for those who only have a medium understanding of the language. (Translated from Portuguese)" - Carlos
