Frequently asked questions
Will I be able to fly my drone after finishing this course?
Yes! and No. During this course we will show you the methodology from start to finish to successfully perform a remote sensing mission using a UAV. However, and as we cover during the course, this course does not give you any type of flight qualification. You should check with your local airspace regulator to see where and how you are allowed to fly!
Do I need a drone to complete this course?
No! You do not need a drone to complete this course. For all the assignments and exercises we will provide the necessary material (in case it is needed). But, we expect to pick your curiosity with this course and hopefully nudge you into buying one and join the community ;).
Who can take this course?
Unfortunately, learners from one or more of the following countries or regions will not be able to register for this course: Iran, Cuba and the Crimea region of Ukraine. While edX has sought licenses from the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to offer our courses to learners in these countries and regions, the licenses we have received are not broad enough to allow us to offer this course in all locations. edX truly regrets that U.S. sanctions prevent us from offering all of our courses to everyone, no matter where they live.
