Diploma in Understanding the Aviation Law with special emphasis on Drone Law

Drones, which also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), are pilotless and non-crewed aircraft that are capable of flying either with the use of remote control or through the use of on-board computers. Unmanned aerial vehicles or drones are also known as remotely piloted vehicle (RPV), remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), and remotely operated aircraft (ROA). The ambits of Drone Law and Aviation law are intertwined and thus an understanding on Drone Law requires a clear picture of Aviation Law as well. According to the law firm and our policy, the course fees will not be refunded. This unique Diploma in Understanding the Aviation Law with special emphasis on Drone Law addresses the complex legal issues involving both air and space, with respect to the use of drones by means of video lectures by Mr. Rodney D Ryder, Managing Partner, Scriboard Advocates and Solicitors and Mr. Vikrant Pachnanda, Vikrant Pachnanda Law Chambers, in association with Enhelion.

In every walk of life, the process of evaluation takes place in one form or the other. If the evaluation process is eliminated from human life then perhaps the aim of life may be lost. Being in the same line, Enhelion is committed to evaluate the process of learning through its courses.

The enrollee will be evaluated based on two Project Assignments, which would test the analytical understanding of the topics covered in the video lecture. 

The most intriguing aspect of the evaluation process is the time flexibility it affords. You can choose to undergo the evaluation process as and when you are ready for the same.

To be eligible to receive a certificate after successful completion of the course, one is required to secure an overall minimum of 40 percent in the Project Assignments.
