Drones are increasingly becoming a go-to for both hobbyists and the workforce, with racing and aircraft inspection being two prime examples of how this technology is becoming a big thing.

Tokyo's Vantan High School is now ensuring the next generation is abreast of this burgeoning tech by offering a three-year course on drones.

The course offers more than just an understanding of how to pilot a drone, also providing lessons in maintenance, aviation laws and computer programming when the need arises for firmware updates.
