Agroteq launches advanced course in Agricultural Aviation

From August 5th to 16th, 2024, Agricultural Technology and Qualification (AGROTEQ) will offer an intensive course aimed at agricultural technicians and agronomists, with the aim of specializing professionals in Agricultural Aviation.

The courses, divided into two segments – Executor and Coordinator in Agricultural Aviation –, aim to train participants and legally qualify them to work in the job market. The Executor Course, aimed at technicians, will have a workload of 46 hours, divided into five modules. Four of these modules will be carried out remotely, covering topics such as Agricultural Aircraft, Agricultural Aviation, Application Technology and Operational Planning. The fifth module, which includes classes and practical activities, will be in person in the city of Pelotas.

The completion of the course will be marked by an assessment, conducted by inspectors from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA), with the aim of verifying the knowledge acquired by the students. Approval will depend on the standards established by the ministry.

The program also aims to improve practices for applying agricultural products, such as insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and fertilizers, in addition to aerial seed sowing. These techniques allow a faster and more efficient response to combat pests and diseases, reducing environmental risks and reaching areas difficult to access for land machines.

According to the course organizers, the initiative aims to expand the skills of professionals in the sector, in addition to contributing significantly to the advancement of technology and efficiency in Brazilian agriculture.
