There are two types of drone qualifications in the UK: The A2 CofC and the GVC, which allows you to apply for an Operational Authorisation. These are commonly referred to as a drone licence.

The A2 CofC is for operations within the Open Category.

The Operational Authorisation is for operations in the Specific Category. Completing a GVC drone training course makes you eligible to apply for an Operational Authorisation.
