Cooperative & NGO Intakes

Group training for field teams — practical, applied, and built around the work you actually do.

Course Overview

Cooperatives and NGOs usually do not need pilots in the abstract. They need someone who can map a plantation, monitor a watershed, document a project site or assess a road after a landslide — and who will still be able to do it a year later without support.

These intakes train field teams as a group, around the specific applications the organisation works on, using equipment they will realistically be able to maintain and fund.

We are candid about which applications are worth the investment. Some of what drones are marketed for does not survive contact with a field budget.

PrerequisitesNone. Pitched to the group's starting point.
FormatGroup intake delivered in the field. Scoped around your programs.
