Benefits of In-person drone lessons

There are several benefits to taking in-person drone lessons in addition to online or self-guided learning. Not all online drone schools are created equal. Simply put, self-guided learning simply won't cut it if you're serious about flying drones or really care about safety.

Conversely, training establishments offering online certification courses are regulated and registered and their profits rely on satisfied customers rather than clicks. One of the best and most reputable online drone schools in Canada is Coastal Drone Co and they offer courses for all levels:

Micro Drone Pilots;

Basic Certification Pilots;

Advanced Certification Pilots.

Coastal Drone also arranges for in-person training through their national network of Flight Reviewers, of which Sky Bug Drone Services is a part of:

Here are some of the key advantages of also investing in in-person drone lessons:

1. Hands-on learning: In-person drone lessons allow you to get hands-on experience with your drone and receive immediate feedback from a qualified instructor. This can be especially helpful for beginners who may not have a lot of experience with drones. We recommend our First Flight lesson if you don't have much or any experience with drones.

2. Personalized instruction: With in-person drone lessons, you have the opportunity to receive personalized instruction tailored to your individual learning needs and goals. This can be especially beneficial if you have specific questions or areas of focus that you want to address. This is why we also offer skills development lessons where you can focus one-on-one with trying or improving on certain aspects of drone operations that matter to you most.

3. Access to resources: In-person drone lessons often come with access to additional resources, such as textbooks, training materials, and practice equipment. This can help you better understand and retain the information being taught.

4. Networking opportunities: In-person drone lessons can also provide an opportunity to network with other drone enthusiasts and professionals in your area. This can be a valuable resource for finding new job opportunities, staying up-to-date on industry developments, and staying connected with the drone community.

5. Safety: In-person drone lessons can also help ensure the safety of yourself and others while operating your drone. An experienced instructor can teach you proper safety protocols and help you avoid potential accidents or incidents. This is our favourite point to make, most of the rules about drone flying exist to ensure safety!

Overall, in-person drone lessons offer a range of benefits for those looking to learn about drones and improve their skills. From hands-on learning and personalized instruction to access to resources and networking opportunities, in-person drone lessons can be a valuable investment for any drone enthusiast or professional.
