Drone Thermography Level 1 Certification
This online drone training course provides a comprehensive introduction to drone thermography. Complying with international (ISO) standards for thermography, it covers the fundamentals of infrared science and thermal physics, thermal camera design and operation, and an introduction to interpreting thermal images. It concludes with a section giving you the practical knowledge necessary to perform live inspections of photovoltaic cell solar panels.
During the Drone Thermography Level 1 course, you will learn…
This knowledge will be ideal for working in industries such as solar farms, wind turbines, building insulation and power line inspections, infrared is very much in demand. The whole course is orientated towards taking infrared images from a drone, probably the most useful payload a drone can carry for acquiring the sophisticated data that many industries need. The online course segment gives you all this knowledge in an easy to follow format, there is also an optional practical segment that compliments the online training where you will actually learn to fly missions using IR technology to gather the sort of data industry needs.
