The world of drones is rapidly evolving, and achieving success in this industry requires innovation, knowledge, and a deep understanding of its intricacies. To help drone business leaders, those pivoting into the UAS industry, and those looking to expand their business, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills, Heather Monthie, PhD, CFI, has created the DRONE MBA program, which is a comprehensive business and leadership program created specifically for the UAS industry.
This is not affiliated with any college or university, so we have the flexibility to create the program specific to this quickly evolving industry.
New offerings are added to this program every month for continuous learning and growth.
