MMCC Offering Drone Course, Will Teach Basics Of Using UAV

With the growth in the UAV industry, Mid Michigan Community College (MMCC) came with a plan to offer a 6-week course in drone training that teaches the basics of owning and using a drone.

Topics such as how to fly a drone under the regulations prescribed by the FAA, and the opportunities for drone use in a commercial setting will be included in the class. “If you’re a hobbyist and use the drones for recreation, you still have to have your drone registered by the FAA,” said Robert Guliani, a photography professor at the MMCC.

“Beyond just personal interest, there are a lot of individual types of businesses that can use this technology,” said Scott Govitz, Associate VP of Workforce and Economic Development.

“We wanted to kick off with this training for the general population, next, we’ll look at offering some of these training options to the public,” added Govitz.
