Now available for commercial use, Drones, aka Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS), have applications across many industries and are quickly becoming indispensable tools to many industries, including agriculture, architecture, construction, law enforcement, the media, photography, real estate, search and rescue, and many more!<\/p>\n
To legally operate a drone for any business purpose, FAA regulations now require remote pilot certification. The Workforce Development Institute’s six-hour Drone Remote Pilot FAA Test Prep<\/a> course prepares pilots interested in pursuing commercial opportunities to successfully pass the comprehensive knowledge test required for FAA certification.<\/p>\n Participants will receive a training certificate of completion. Classes are offered in partnership with SkyOp LLC.<\/p>\n Prerequisites:<\/strong> Students must be at least 16-years-old, be able to read, speak, write and understand English (exceptions may be made if the person is unable to meet one of these requirements for a medical reason, such as hearing impairment).<\/p>\n Date:<\/strong> Tuesday\/Thursday, Oct.\u00a0 24 and 26, 2017 For more information or to register, visit www.hvcc.edu\/wdi<\/a>, email wdi@hvcc.edu<\/a>, or call (518) 629-4235 or (518) 629-4111.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Tue, 19 Sep 2017 12:10:07 +0000 by\u00a0l.wheeler<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Now available for commercial use, Drones, aka Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS), have applications across many industries and are…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[161],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-student-announcement-college-related"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9842"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9842\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
