  1. Online Blue Nose Academy: An online platform offering courses on advanced airspace authorizations, photography composition and editing, camera basics, videography shot types, foundations of GIS and remote sensing, thermal and multispectral imaging, orthomosaic mapping, and vegetation indices.
  2. In-Person Training Workshops: A 3-day workshop that combines classroom instruction with hands-on field exercises.

Territory Protection

Blue Nose Aerial Imaging provides each franchisee with a defined “Operating Territory,” agreed upon and approved by the franchisor. However, this territory is not exclusive, and franchisees may face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other distribution channels controlled by the franchisor.

The franchisor may operate or license others outside the assigned territory, even in nearby areas. Additionally, Blue Nose can authorize other franchisees to perform services within a territory under special programs like national accounts.
