“I just completed this beta course : Preflight and Planning of a Successful Drone Mission
I must say that this is very good course, great explanation on pre flight and so on. I love the way and passion that henrik is explaning things in this course.
I see myself as an experienced beginner, i have flown quite a bit with different drones, and different sizes.
I would love to had the the possibility to have taken this course with my first drone, i could have avoided some try out mistakes and have had succes with my missions instead.
Even with my experience i learned new things in this course, and it is a satisfaction to be confimed that i was doing something in the right way"

"Ok, completed now. I also like the atmosphere you create and how you explain. It's friendly and I always felt your positive energy. This together makes it fun and one likes to learn. You make a good teacher. The content is also really good. What I find hard to do is the planning. If I have never been to a place then my not so creative mind make it hard for me to plan a good video. But that is something what you can probably also learn with basic tips to follow. Maybe you have some insight into that too?"

Taught by Henrik Olsen
You know what? I wasn't so different from you when I started out. Just like everyone else, I began with zero knowledge and no one to turn to for guidance. But fueled by my passion for drones and a love for capturing incredible footage, I carved my own path in this industry. It hasn't been an easy journey, but I firmly believe that with dedication and heart, anything is possible.
I understand the struggles beginners face because I've been there myself. That's why I created The 1st Drone Academy and developed the Drone Like a Pro courses. My goal is to support aspiring drone enthusiasts like you and pass on my knowledge to help you thrive in this exciting field.
Having been teaching about drones online since 2016 on YouTube and actively flying and building my own drones since 2011, I've gained extensive experience and expertise. I'm excited to share this wealth of knowledge with you through The 1st Drone Academy and the comprehensive Drone Like a Pro courses.
By enrolling in these courses, you'll have access to a carefully crafted blueprint that will transform you into a professional drone operator. You'll learn the fundamental techniques and skills needed to elevate your drone work to new heights, capturing smooth and cinematic shots that leave a lasting impact.
I won't sugarcoat it—it takes time and practice. But with my guidance and your commitment, I am confident that you can achieve remarkable results. Let's embark on this exciting journey together, and I'll be there to support you every step of the way.
