With the support of the Chamber of Plant Doctors and NIA: Become a drone pilot for free—now! 

The digitalization and modernization of agriculture are constantly advancing, making the use of cutting-edge technologies essential. As part of this progress, the Békés County Regional Organization of the Hungarian Chamber of Plant Protection Engineers and Plant Doctors and the NIA – Németh Imre Foundation have signed a cooperation agreement. Their goal is to support the free 300-hour plant-protection drone-pilot training offered by Gyulai SzC Kossuth Lajos Technikum.

A unique opportunity for those working in agriculture

The market value of this training would exceed HUF 1 million, yet Kossuth Technikum is now providing it free of charge for applicants. The program includes both practical and theoretical components, enabling participants to gain state-of-the-art knowledge that underpins the agricultural technologies of the future.

Within the cooperation, to meet the entry requirements:

• The NIA Foundation provides A1/A2/A3 drone-pilot training.

• The Békés County Regional Organization of the Chamber enables completion of the 80-hour basic plant-protection course ("Green Book").

Experts on the program's importance

Zoltán Fárii, representing the Chamber, emphasized: "This is an exceptional opportunity for every plant-doctor and agricultural professional. The use of drones brings a revolutionary change to plant protection and precision agriculture."
Diána Palotás-Rózsa, Director of Gyulai SzC Kossuth Technikum: "This is a unique opportunity that everyone working in agriculture—or planning a future in the field—should seize."
Melinda Mészáros, President of the Foundation, stressed: "We've been providing drone-pilot training for years and are delighted to open new opportunities. The Chamber is a great partner in ensuring that the most up-to-date knowledge reaches the right people."
