"The Ohio Teacher Introduction to Drone technology fast track program proved that you can teach an old dog new tricks.  I have been a public educator for 38 years and I have seen many things come and go in public education but one thing that is here to stay is technology and real world learning experiences that cognitively engage young minds while exposing them to career opportunities.  This program is the complete package and is sure to challenge and excite learners of all ages."

"USI's Ohio Fast Track program has allowed our instructors to go from zero to expert in a few short months.  It is an invaluable tool that greatly enriches the instructor and student experience."

"When I was asked to start a Drones class I thought it sounded fun and would be something the kids would be interested in but I was worried that I didn't have any knowledge on the topic. When I got into the program it was a lot of work and most definitely took me outside my comfort zone and I questioned if I was the right person for the job.  After I completed the program and flight school I felt knowledgeable, equipped and excited to offer this to my students. Going into it, I didn't know the multitude of opportunities in this field but quickly realized that giving my students this opportunity could give them a skill set that would give them an edge in the job market. The instructors with USI were knowledgeable and passionate and helped me to feel the same. Through the program I was also able to make connections with other teachers and industry professionals that proved to be a valuable resource for me when implementing this into the classroom."

"My participation in USI’s drone certification fast track program has made me a better teacher by expanding my knowledge base in the field of Unmanned Aircraft Systems. I can now better prepare my students for the careers they desire and the technologically driven jobs of tomorrow that have not been developed yet."

"The Intro to Drone Technology Fast Track program is an excellent opportunity for Ohio teachers to participate in an on-site training experience. The USI instructors were amazing and offered hands-on training scenarios for teachers and excellent classroom instruction to prepare them for the Part 107 Remote Pilot certification exam. I feel better prepared to train my students after completing the Fast Track program."

"The USI program was great for me as an educator because of the flexibility it provided me to work through the course at my own time while still having all of the material I needed to know for the test.  The in person training was incredibly helpful and gave me some connections that I have already used to help me with starting the drone program at my school."

"I am so glad the opportunity to participate in USI's drone certification fast track program was offered to me!  Even though my drone experience was limited, USI made the coursework and flight training accessible, informative and enjoyable.  I am so excited to share what I have learned with my students!"
