Lionsfacility’s new Drone School is open for business! Announcing registration for the 2nd outdoor shooting seminar and facility hours, all at reasonable prices!
A year has passed since Lionsfilm (headquarters: Sumida, Tokyo; CEO Takeshi Mori) opened Lionsfacility, a combination drone showroom, test flight center, and café/bar, and has now opened a Drone School utilizing knowhow gleaned through our work in drone photography, management, and seminars. We have also opened registration for our second round of outdoor drone photography. Furthermore, in order to provide an even easier to use drone flight practice space to our beloved customers, we have made changes to Lionsfacility operating hours and pricing.
■About Lionsfacility Drone School (LFDS)
LFDS is a seminar series planned and managed by Lionsfilm Limited Co., Ltd. for civilian multicopter training, offering qualifications training that will allow even students with zero multicopter flight experience to register for provincial flight permission and receive approval.
While we have already been approved as a training organization by the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism (MLIT), LFDS plans to apply for status as a proper lecturing entity with MLIT when it comes to drones.
Seminars held at the school don’t simply focus on certifying individuals in terms of knowledge and skill when it comes to flying drones, but also how to operate a drone-centric business in a safe manner. We have created a certification program that thoroughly delves into how to prepare to mitigate unforeseen accidents and problems as well as how to deal with said problems in the event they should occur in a cool and composed manner to mitigate damage and injury, producing prudent and vigilant pilots.
*Our school bases its curriculum on the experience and know how gained from a year of running our own drone flight center and having shot at world heritage centers.
17-Hour Course Including Test Flight Time (5 hours of study, 12 hours of flight)Cost: \194,400 (incl. tax)*Applicants that complete the course will be mailed a certificate of completion.*Includes Drone Star 01 unit for practicing at home.
