A new training school for agricultural drone pilots has opened in Poltava Oblast

At the beginning of 2024, a new training school for agricultural drone pilots was opened in Poltava Oblast. This was made possible by a collaboration between a local university and a company specializing in the production of drones for agriculture. The goal of the school is to train specialists who will be able to implement modern technologies in agriculture and increase the efficiency of production.

Before the opening of the school, a number of preparatory activities were carried out, including the arrangement of specialized classes for theoretical training, the purchase of the necessary equipment for practical classes, and the training of the teaching staff taking into account the specifics of agricultural drones. The school has received support from government authorities, who see the potential in the implementation of agricultural drones to increase agricultural productivity and reduce the impact on the environment.

The school's educational program covers various aspects of the use of agricultural drones in agriculture, including the study of modern methods of data collection and analysis, management of agricultural machinery and programming of autonomous flights. Students will gain practical skills in drone maintenance, and will also learn to solve typical tasks that they may encounter in real agricultural conditions.

The agrodrone pilot training school was opened on the basis of already existing faculties of the university, which made it possible to use the existing infrastructure and ensure a high level of training. The first set of students has already started their studies, and according to preliminary plans, the school plans to attract students not only from the local region, but also from neighboring regions, showing great interest in this new field.
