Introducing Lee Carseldine
Introducing Lee Carseldine
Lee Carseldine is an all-around unique individual: an ex-professional cricket player, TV Survivor runner-up and multiple business founder. He started Droneit by being its sole operator and grew it by using the tools that he used throughout his career, setting success as the ultimate and only goal of his endeavors. Although it started as a services company, the training division quickly became the core business unit.
"Initially, the work was all based around me flying for clients all over Australia but with the advancement of technology and changes in regulation over the years, I pivoted the business model to a training focus as I saw a huge opportunity in the market."

James and Lee saw the need for a new way of delivering drone training courses but the shift to online was not easy. They had to switch from physical, face-to-face classes to a custom learning platform and then an LMS platform, all while adhering to strict regulations set by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
“We were very disappointed in the majority of the LMS solutions we tried as they simply lacked major functionality.”
Could your sector also be revolutionized by a shift to online learning?
LearnWorlds comes into focus
LearnWorlds comes into focus?
Lee and James decide that LearnWorlds is the ideal solution.
When James, the CEO, and the Droneit team tested LearnWorlds ✊❤🎓 thoroughly, they were surprised at the value for money it offers and immediately decided that it was the way forward for their business. Features such as the custom code and embedding, were crucial, while the social features such as the forum and the competitive pricing made the decision all too clear. With LearnWorlds Droneit feels that they can assist their customers from the start of their journey all the way to completion when they undertake their final exams.
"LearnWorlds has been instrumental in building Droneit as the biggest, most reputable e-training organization in Australia. It is the most cost-effective and user-friendly platform in the market."
