No. The course starts from the basics of drone surveying. Basic computer skills are enough, and GIS users will also find advanced workflows.
Not necessarily. A drone helps you practise flight planning in the field, while the processing and mapping lessons are done on your computer.
You get 1 year of access from the date of purchase and can learn at your own pace on any device.
