At the end of this course, students will be better prepared to take the knowledge exam. Each session will include 3 hours of virtual classroom via Microsoft Teams and 4 hours of hands-on training. Drones will be provided for the hands-on portion only and will be collected at the end of the course. Cost: $325.00*
