From Our Students Here is what they are saying about our courses

I'm loving this course. I take all types of online courses and I have to say that the instruction for each chapter is smooth, makes all necessary points, and the physical examples and diagrams really help the concepts sink in. I definitely feel as if I am learning the concepts very easily so far.

Terri Perry

I came into this course thinking I knew enough to start my own business. I was so wrong. This course guided me through the important factors that I would never have considered on how to start and run my business. Thank you Greg!

Jacob S

Great course, gives lots of actionable tips to get you started and motivated.

Paul Helton

This course was an absolute treasure trove of information regarding starting a drone business, or any business, for that matter. The amount of content you get for the money is insane. There is going to be something in here for everyone looking to start a business in this industry and Greg's delivery is informative, yet interesting enough to be entertaining, as well. Absolutely recommended.

Greg Reverdiau

Drone and Airplane Pilot, Flight Instructor

Hi, I'm Greg or Professor R as my students call me.

I have been an aviation professional since the early 2000s. I currently hold the following FAA certificates: Certified Flight Instructor, Commercial Pilot (for single and multi engine), and UAS Remote Pilot. I have worked for two of the biggest aeronautical universities in the country (managing flight training programs of up to 500 students and 50 aircraft) and in teaching roles as a professor. I now concentrate on educating the next generation of manned and unmanned pilots by creating online courses.

I truly enjoy teaching both in the classroom and online as well as sharing my knowledge using newer technology. I intend to help bridge the gap between the manned and unmanned aircraft industry to increase safety.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Science and a Masters Degree in Aviation Human Factors, both from the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, FL.

When I am not teaching, you can find me running in the beautiful mountains surrounding Prescott, AZ.

Description

You love flying your drone and you think it would be great to take it to the next level by starting a drone business. But the idea might overwhelm you. Where do I start? How do I find customers? How much should I charge? Do I need a business plan? How much money will I make? This course will help you answer all these questions and many more.

Start a drone business on a solid foundation rather than on a whim. You will learn from someone who has created and managed successful businesses. In this course, you will:

learn how to successfully research potential drone business opportunities,
answer questions you should ask yourself before starting a drone business,
create a successful business plan,
learn the legalese involved in creating a business,
learn how to successfully market your business,
create important financial documents,
learn how to run the day-to-day operation of your business,
discover how to find customers and keep them,
complete assignments throughout the entire course so this is not passive learning.

This course is a realistic approach to building a drone business, we promise NOT to give you a rosy and unrealistic picture of the aviation industry in general. We will NOT make you a millionaire or promise that you will make $100, $200, $300 per hour flying your drone. We are NOT selling you a dream. This is designed to be a realistic drone business course.

Note that this course does NOT teach how to take better pictures, better videos, how to edit in Premiere, how to do roof inspections, etc… We assume you already have those skills if you are going to make money from it.

Pilot Institute is the only aviation training provider to be accredited by IACET to offer continuing education credits.
