About survey course

We’ve put together a one-day course that teaches you the skills and know-how to use in your business. You’ll need to already have a CAA commercial license to take part and we’ll help to build your confidence on site.

Throughout the day we’ll look at the theoretical and practical aspects involved in a successful survey, guiding you through every stage from planning to processing the data you have collected. This includes a practical flying stage, helping you to get to grips with the controls for a steady and effective flight.

We’ll look at the different dedicated surveying apps available on the market, focusing on the market leaders to ensure you can conduct a successful survey on your own. They include Maps Pilot, Pix4D capture, DJI GS Pro and Drone Deploy.

Throughout what is an enjoyable and extremely beneficial day, you’ll get hands on and practical experience, giving you confidence with every flight and every job.
