I think the course has been great, very informative. All of the lecturers have been great, from pesticides to the use of the drone, the maintenance, the flying, the mapping. I think it’s been very informative.

Brilliant! Everyone, staff-wise, was fantastic, friendly, and welcoming. And the course itself is really good. I really enjoyed it!

Really, really informative. Every question I’ve asked has always been answered in great detail. Everything has been covered and we’re all very much aware of the dos and don’ts – what’s possible, what’s not possible and also what is coming in the next few months which is really exciting.
