Rural Drone Academy training covers the A to Z of everything a drone pilot needs to know in order to fly safely, productively and enjoyably. Drone workshops are based on a wealth of drone and small business experience, with specific topics added according to participant interests, such as photography and agriculture. Each workshop is unique.
What does the Quilpie drone workshop include?
- Global standard information

This will be one of the most special drone workshops I have run – fantastic outback location, friendly locals, excellent home-cooked food. And some great people booked in to attend – many driving long distances to be there. Don’t miss this great opportunity to be part of something not only useful, but enjoyable and memorable!
