Training & Development
With growing demand for UAV Technicians, Dronix Technologies Pvt Ltd, has designed the most demanding UAV Technician Training course. This course takes the participants behind the scenes of drone manufacturing including complete Integration, Trouble shooting, Repair and Maintenance of the drone.
This is not a UAV or Drone Piloting course. With drones becoming completely autonomous, the need for UAV Technicians who understands the mechanics of the drone system is growing at a faster rate than the Pilots.
With this in mind, the training program is designed to give the participants the necessary skills to do Integration, Testing, Qualification, Repairs and Maintenance of various systems and subsystems of the drone.
The course combines principles of aeronautics, electronics and mechanical engineering giving participants the opportunity to work hands-on in multiple areas.

This course is suitable for any candidate having passed high school with a Physics/Math background.
No, not required.
No, this is not a Drone Piloting course. However, drone operations will be taught in the course. As the entire world moves towards automation, the need for technicians will rise. Even if the drones are automated, technicians will be needed to build, integrate, repair and conduct maintenance of the drone fleets. Hence, UAV Technicians jobs will be better than UAV Pilots.
No, this course does not require any DGCA certificate.
We will recommend suitable opportunities to our students.
Yes, a certificate certifying you as a Professional UAV Technician will be provided after the successful completion of this course.
Career options for UAV Technicians include, but are not limited to:
● UAV Flight Test Engineer
● UAV Electrician
● UAV Mechanic
● UAV Integration Engineer
● UAV Systems Engineer
● UAV Research Assistant
