FIELDS Ag Training Program

Are you looking to improve your operational efficiency or simply learn about best practice in aerial spraying and spreading?

Our FIELDS (Foundation for Industry-Endorsed Low-altitude Drone Spraying) Ag Training Course has been designed to teach agricultural drone owners industry-standard techniques to get the best from their equipment whilst remaining safe and compliant with CASA and chemical application regulations.

What do we offer?

FIELDS is a face-to-face training course that includes a mixture of both classroom theory sessions and on-field practical sessions, where you will get chance to hone your skills in a safe environment under the guidance of our expert instructors.

We will cover everything from the basic set-up and calibration of your system, through to field-planning and logistics.

All of our course material is created using industry-standard best-practice guidelines and current chemical application regulations to ensure that you not only learn industry-leading techniques, but you also remain compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Training is conducted at our preferred site in Orchard Hills, near to Penrith.

Contact us if you have a group of operators and would like to explore options for on-site training at your location.

Training will take place over 3 days. This may be extended to 4 days in the event of poor weather or larger groups.

We will cover all aspects of planning and on-field operations. This may include (but is not limited to):

  • Pre-op planning. Job analysis, breakdown and scheduling.
  • Field planning for safe operations.
  • Chemical/product application – speed, height and overlap for different scenarios.
  • Managing spray drift and meteorology for spraying.
  • Maintenance and record keeping.

Our courses and content are very flexible so get in touch if there is anything in particular you would like to cover learn more about!

Client Testimonials

Keep up the good work, you guys are great. I will be coming back again in the near future for some other training and will recommend you guys to any one looking for quality drone solutions.

Phillip Richards

John takes a on-nonsense approach to training, providing real-world examples, personal anecdotes and information which is highly beneficial but not necessary for him to impart. John makes the point that his job is to train to a standard, not to deliver a syllabus or provide a set number of hours. The level of understanding of the industry is very high.
