Latest online UAS foundation course saves you over $2400…

Thousands of individuals are looking to join the ‘Unmanned Aircraft Revolution’ around the world. Many are seeking a cost-effective way to explore the UAS sphere and establish themselves with the knowledge required to compete, but without the considerable debt of an untested or uncertified Bachelors / Masters Degree.

In an effort to quench this thirst, a number of ‘UAS Foundation / Fundamentals / Executive Courses’ have sprung up out there all with similar content and various levels of instructor expertise and accreditation, including our own (go Google them!).

Unmanned Experts® (UMEX) has finally released their 19 module course in an e-learning format at the 40% discounted price of $480 until May.

This instructional program provides individuals entering the UAS market with the ability to ‘hit the ground running’. Attendees will gain a working knowledge of UAS system classification, roles and command and control options. UAS design considerations, payloads and limitations are studied, culminating in a challenging UAS design and practical exercise. A UAS Mission Planning module also leads to a Mission Planning Practical Exercise. In depth consideration of operational and maintenance difficulties as well as a review of Human Factors, STANAG Compliance, further Payload options and more in-depth Component aspects will all be studied. A look at a number of case studies complete the Foundation Course and a detailed End Of Course Quiz leads to Certification. Personnel should have a general understanding of basic aviation principles or have completed the separate UMEX Aviation Fundamentals Course.

We briefly compared the costs to trainees between those selecting the e-learning course and those choosing to travel to one of the myriad of onsite training classes, and here’s what we found:

For those just starting off, that $2400 can go a long way:

• You could BUY and insure (essential these days) a DJI Phantom Vision 2 quad-rotor UAVs (est $2300)

• We could even cheekily suggest our own ‘Small UAS Multi-rotor Aerial Photography Course’ ($2250)

• Join your local RC flying club, gain AMA membership and pay dues to both for 16 years!! (est $2400)

Any which way, we hope UMEX can help you enter the fray and keep you financially viable therein. Come on… start the move into UAS today!
