Heliguy now has full National Qualified Entity Status

The big news is that Heliguy has been granted National Qualified Entity Status (NQE) by the Civil Aviation Authority. That means we can train drone pilots  and help them to obtain their Permission For Aerial Work. Since November we've been training pilots in Newcastle but from February we'll also be holding courses in Manchester and Reading. Heliguy is a drone retailer but when you combine that with servicing, repair and multi-rotor building services and commercial pilot training, you have a comprehensive one-stop shop for everything drone related. We've recently launched service and repair packages on DJI Phantom 3s and Inspire 1s with something for everyone from the hobby flyer to the professional operator. Find out more about Extra Care deals here on our website. We are constantly striving to improve the service we offer. Our tech room has been expanded to accommodate multi-rotor builds including DJI S900s, S1000s and Freefly ALTAs. We also handle repairs. It's a cruel fact of life that everyone will crash their drone sooner or later so Heliguy's here to help you get back in the air as soon as possible. Our entire operation here at Heliguy is ISO 9001 certified  because we take quality assurance seriously.
