Our audience isn&#8217;t sure how to get started studying, or are looking for additional reinforcement of the most important topics.<\/p>\n<p>We will also be introducing the course to brand new drone pilots with no prior experience, but who are interested in learning! Our existing business model is already national, so the course offering is an incredibly complementary product to our existing customer base.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#x2019;s the biggest benefit of taking your course?<\/h2>\n<p>We are in the business of drones. We&#x2019;re not just some group of nobodies who decided it would be fun to cook up a course. We work with drone pilots every day in the face of the FAA&#x2019;s regulations, trying to get jobs done for our clients. We understand the challenges that they face in the real world, so as we built the course, we ensured that appropriate components of the exam material are emphasized to better prepare drone pilots for commercial experiences.&#xA0; In other words, we know better than anybody what they really need to know, and we make sure that they are as prepared as possible by the end of the course.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-17183\" src=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Dan-Edmonson-3.png\" alt=\"dronegenuity.com showing how to use drones for videos\" width=\"1000\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Dan-Edmonson-3.png 1000w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Dan-Edmonson-3-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Dan-Edmonson-3-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Dan-Edmonson-3-50x28.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_did_you_get_into_the_market\"><\/span>How did you get into the market?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since we&#x2019;re in constant contact with drone pilots every day (and of course we&#x2019;re all drone pilots ourselves), we are constantly hearing about their evolving difficulties in the current regulatory environment. We brainstormed how we could best contribute to solving the problem, and decided that an online course clearly explaining what pilots needed to know to pass the Part 107 exam was the most effective way we could add value to our pilots&#x2019; lives.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_did_you_decide_to_create_an_online_course_in_the_first_place\"><\/span>Why did you decide to create an online course in the first place?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Same answer as earlier, but I&#x2019;ll reinforce that it has incredible synergies with our existing business model. We are constantly on the lookout for opportunities to add tremendous value to our pilots&#x2019; lives. Adding educational content to our sphere of offerings had significant and direct positive network effects &#x2013; by adding courses that will teach pilots new skills (starting with the Part 107 course), we&#x2019;re supporting our pilot network. Additionally, we&#x2019;re improving our pilots&#x2019; skillset, which will also improve the quality of their work for us. It&#x2019;s a win-win situation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-17182\" src=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Dan-Edmonson-2.png\" alt=\"dronegenuity.com detailed tutorials\" width=\"1000\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Dan-Edmonson-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Dan-Edmonson-2-300x123.png 300w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Dan-Edmonson-2-768x315.png 768w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Dan-Edmonson-2-50x21.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Did_you_have_any_moments_of_doubt_before_you_createdlaunched_it\"><\/span>Did you have any moments of doubt before you created\/launched it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Of course, we struggled to put it together &#x2013; if it were easy, everyone would do it.
