DJI Launches Advanced GEO Products Training for Mapping Drones in Benelux Region

DJI has introduced its Advanced GEO Products Training Services program in the Benelux region, aiming to enhance the accuracy of survey data obtained from mapping drones. Drone Parts Center in Nivelles, Belgium, is the first DJI-certified training dealer in this area, with operations manager Stéphane Tilmant achieving GEO Trainer Certification in August 2026.

This program, launched in 2026, standardizes training for DJI's Matrice 4E mapping drone and Zenmuse L3 LiDAR sensor, moving beyond informal instruction to a structured curriculum. The training covers essential skills such as mission planning, data capture, and quality control, ensuring that operators can meet professional survey requirements effectively.

The training begins with online self-study, followed by hands-on sessions in Nivelles or at customer sites. Available in English, with a French version coming in January 2027, the program includes practical assessments and provides a five-year access to updated materials. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.

Editor's Note

DJI's initiative to provide structured training for mapping drones reflects a growing emphasis on professional standards in drone operations. As industries increasingly rely on precise survey data, such training programs can significantly enhance the capabilities of drone operators, ensuring they are well-equipped to handle complex mapping tasks. This move may influence procurement decisions for enterprises looking to integrate advanced drone technology into their operations.
