Online vs in-person maintenance training

Which course is best for you?

heliguy™ offers two Drone Maintenance Courses: The online version and the in-person, one-day course delivered at our Training Centre in Newcastle.

The online drone maintenance course is an introduction to UAS Maintenance, whereas the in-person, one-day course offers a deeper dive with face-to-face hands-on practical exercises and tutorials with in-person support.

  • Choose the online course if: An introduction is all you need; you require drone maintenance training online without travel; you prefer self-paced, on-demand learning with repeatable reference material; you want refresher training between maintenance cycles; want to use it as a prerequisite for in-person training.

  • Choose the in-person course if: You prefer hands-on disassembly, physical fault diagnosis, or workshop-based training; want to conduct practical assessments in the company of our instructors; want an interactive and dynamic learning experience.
