Open source drone being assembled with motors, flight controller and wiring on a modern electronics workbench

Overview

Open source drone technology is changing how people learn electronics, robotics and autonomous flight, and this course gives you a complete hands-on pathway to master it. In this practical, step-by-step training, you will learn how to design, build, configure and fly your own multi-rotor drone using open, customisable hardware and software. Every component is explained clearly, from motors and ESCs to power distribution boards, flight controllers and GPS modules.

You will explore how flight systems work together, including roll, pitch and yaw control, signal processing, power management and firmware configuration. The course also introduces you to industry-standard tools such as mission planning software and transmitter setup, giving you real-world experience that mirrors professional drone workflows. Rather than relying on pre-built kits, you will work with individual parts, gaining a deeper understanding of how drones are engineered and maintained.

A major focus of this training is confidence. You will learn safe battery handling, calibration procedures, wiring techniques and legal and safety considerations before flying. Guided test flights and upgrade projects, including the Pixhawk flight controller, allow you to expand your drone’s capabilities and experiment with advanced navigation and control systems.

By the end of the course, you will be able to assemble a fully functional drone, install and configure firmware, connect navigation modules, and perform stable flight operations. These skills are valuable not only for hobbyists, but also for students and professionals exploring robotics, aerospace, electronics and unmanned systems.

All learners receive a free course completion certificate when they finish the programme. For those who want formal recognition, multiple premium certificate and transcript options are also available for purchase. You will also have access to 5-star rated learner support available 24/7 via email, ensuring you always have expert help whenever you need it.

This course is ideal for technology enthusiasts, engineering students, hobbyists, and anyone curious about drone systems. It is especially useful for learners who enjoy building, testing and experimenting with electronics and software, and for those looking to understand how modern drones work beyond ready-made consumer models.
No prior drone experience is required. A basic understanding of computers and a willingness to work with small electronic components is helpful. Learners should be comfortable following technical instructions and using simple tools such as screwdrivers, soldering irons and software installers.
Completing this course can support careers in robotics, electronics engineering, aerospace technology, UAV operations and research. It also provides a strong foundation for further study in autonomous systems, embedded systems and drone-based applications such as surveying, inspection, mapping and aerial data collection.
