Overview
“This course will provide key knowledge about remote sensing in agriculture, crop monitoring, and advances in disease detection.
The use of drones for precision agriculture can significantly increase yield, adapt fertilizers and agro-chemical doses to crop needs and provide tools for better agronomic decisions. All this fosters a product with better quality and a more environmentally friendly footprint.
Drones have proved to be an effective, economical, and flexible tool for remote sensing applications. Agriculture is the world’s largest industry, employing more than one billion people and generating billions of dollars worth of food annually. The world population is projected to reach 10 billion people by 2050 so it presents an urgent need to increase global food production. This makes inevitable the global adoption of precision agriculture.”

Very good job from the instructors involved . You can easily see that they like their job and make the students enjoy it!
Hope to come back soon!
Ireland
Very informative and knowledgeable presenters. Great to get an insight into an area I knew nothing about before.
Spain
Although the times we are living it has been an amazing experience, an unbeatable professional environment, and an impeccable training that without any doubt I recommend it to anyone interested in this sector.
So smart and intense the UAV Remote Sensing Application 1-week session, exploring the whole innovative UAV channel from the flight and imagery acquisition to various applications. The BCN team (and speakers) is very professional and enthusiastic, and their Catalunya green site is really inspiring.

The course has been very wide, where a lot of technic themes has been reached in deep. Great knowledge acquired thanks a great speakers. High level of technology shared in a site of reference. Hope comming soon the opportunity to participate on more advanced level course. Congratulations for your training courses!

It is a place where knowledge and skills are fused to model one to a competent pilot and an operator of drones. With highly endowed instructors, and lots of training hours both on the simulator and practically flying one is all that is required to transform any enthusiastic drone pilot to an excellent one. A true pioneer of UAS and champion for its future
Barcelona
Jordi Santacana, in addition to being the best pilot in the world, is a simple and warm person. Professors Albert and Marc are great professionals who have helped me learn all the concepts of the course in an excellent way. And the instructor-student relationship has been unbeatable. It is noticeable that they are experts. I completely recommend BCN Drone Center, it is the best center to learn to fly.

The course was well worth my time. It provided a great opportunity to learn about modern UAV system design and operation; UAVs are much more than R/C aircraft and deserve special consideration. Considerable time was allocated each day to flying aircraft on the simulator and flying a small UAV on site.
