This 1-day practical course covers drone use in the construction environment including planning a project, executing the project on site, carrying out a flight and processing the data.

Who the course is aimed at

This course is for those who would like to use drones in a construction environment and effectively use the data. Delegates must carry out the CITB Assured course ‘Drone use in construction – introduction’ before attending this course.
