If you are looking for a quality Postgraduate diploma that will help you specialize in one of the fields with the most professional prospects, this is your best option”

The emergence of drones has changed the world of aeronautics. Drone technology is advancing at great speed, evolving much faster even than mobile technology. This technology has advanced so much that, nowadays, there are drones with more than 20 hours of flight autonomy.

Moreover, the advance of drones implies a growing need for pilots to specialize in their use. Flying a drone for entertainment purposes is not the same as flying a high value drone for specialized operations. That is why this intensive training is so vital, as it will provide professionals with the specialization that they need.  

This program is aimed at those interested in attaining a higher level of knowledge of Drone Maintenance, Design and Engineering. The main objective of this Postgraduate diploma is for students to specialize their knowledge in simulated work environments and conditions in a rigorous and realistic manner so that they can later apply it in the real world.  

Additionally, as it is a 100% online Postgraduate diploma, students are not constrained by fixed timetables or the need to commute to another physical location, rather, can access the contents at any time of the day, balancing their professional or personal life with their studies.
