Student Testimonial

Jamieson Allen
Class of 2025 - A.A.S. sUAS (Drones) Field Technician

"This is a very good foundational program because it helped me learn all aspects of drones. It taught me how to map, how to build a drone and it helped me to branch out from there like adding a camera and advanced workflows. This program helped prepare me for my current position as the drone coordinator for the Atlantic City Fire Department."
