Over the last decade, in line with scientific and technological advances, the use of drones has become increasingly common in many areas of activity. For example, sectors such as industry, construction and agriculture use these devices to optimize a wide range of daily tasks. In the same way, they are used in search and rescue work, given their ability to work in places that are difficult to access. Therefore, given the great functions that these devices perform in today's society, UAV pilots are professionals who are in high demand in the labor market.

Given this situation, TECH has opted for thisPostgraduate diploma, a program focused on providing students with a series of knowledge that will prepare them to perform with solvency in this precise job. During 6 months of intensive learning, you will be able to delve into the interpretation and use of aeronautical charts or to know in depth the techniques to navigate taking into account the limitations of height and distance. You will also learn how to fly in conditions of reduced visibility or master the most essential aspects of radio communications.

Thanks to the fact that this program is developed through an innovative 100% online methodology, the student will have the possibility to learn without the need to stick to uncomfortable pre-established schedules. Likewise, they will benefit from a set of multimedia and textual didactic resources designed by the best drone pilots, who are actively involved in this profession. Consequently, the knowledge assimilated by the student will be completely updated.
