Things change quickly in this industry. Drone technology and industrial applications are advancing all the time and, if you’re not careful, not keeping up will lead to you being left behind.

That’s why it’s a good idea to gain relevant qualifications as time passes. Even if you have no immediate plans to carry out thermal missions, you will be future-proofing your skill set and putting yourself in a strong position for the coming years.

You might also find that the skills you learn extend to the kind of missions you currently fly, making you an all-around more efficient drone pilot.
