Testimonials

“This course went beyond my expectations. I went in with a single purpose and came out with the knowledge to achieve that purpose. However (additionally), it has sparked genuine interest in several other drone applications”

— Tim Norris, Hawkes Bay Regional Council

“Ferntech's friendly and highly professional team of instructors are top in their fields. First-class without doubt.”

— Robyn Kamira, CEO, Incredible Skies

“Our company had two days of training on the DJI Matrice 300 RTK and the Mavic series. The training was absolutely top-notch, from the introduction to the advanced flying of the Matrice 300 RTK. We were able to grasp the essentials and learn the basics of professional use. One of our team went on to achieve CAA certification within ten days. A testament to both the initial training — but also the ongoing assistance and guidance by Ferntech.”

— Simon Henderson, CEO, Reefton Gold Limited
