Course Overview
This course is a guide for beginners to start a professional drone business from the scratch and with low budget.
The beginning of every business could be very confusing and you may have a lot of "how-to" questions in mind before taking any action.Things would get more messy when your business model is new in the market and there are not many companies, either successful or failed ones to learn from and apply their winning strategies for our business, which is in our case: drone business!
What You'll Learn
The purpose of this course is twofold . On one hand, you learn all the necessary details to prepare and begin your business with low budget and risk. on the other hand, you learn the fundamentals of using drones with related professional aerial mapping software, which is hassle-free to master and is best fit for your budget.
Throughout the course we make a real case scenario of a drone business including real costs and rates. Moreover we scan through the the existing drone businesses to learn from the real cases and apply the best strategy for our business. So, after all you would be able to answer all the questions in below and more.
1. What do I need to know when planning a drone business?

However, I will show you all the guides and resources to refer to later on.

Boring, rambling. Static text slides - not that there's anything wrong with text slides, per se, but the lecture doesn't add anything to the content that can be read from the slides. As the instructor goes through, it seems that he hasn't written himself a script, or practiced the presentation - he just seems, at times, to be wandering around on the Internet. Even though I got this course at a discount, I am not feeling that I'm getting my money's worth. Perhaps it is because I am not a total beginner, but there seems to be little or nothing in the course that couldn't be found for free on YouTube.

Very informative throughout the coarse. I particular some very useful techniques for researching and analysing competitors' and the financial planning aspects. Also I have a better idea now of the type of Drone to start off with, which could prevent making an expensive mistake at the beginning.

Procs - Perfect for beginners, This course content is applicable to any business plan and whoever wants to start a new business. I just say it a First Step Course for Drone Bussiness. Cons - I expected more details about Drone Handling, Drone Supported Applications (Android & iOS) , How to develop our own sample app for drones.etc. Will be good to have on this course.
