Comprehensive Public Safety Training
Specialist tuition for the emergency services
ES-DOT provides comprehensive yet succinct vocational training for organisations such as the Police, Fire & Rescue, Ambulance, Mountain Rescue, and the Coast Guard. It is also suitable for control centre support staff involved in the deployment of UAS.
It can be adapted to suit the requirements of the organisation, from a condensed theoretical course to a more comprehensive course with practical flight training.
Candidates benefit from face-to-face tuition from our experienced instructors to build competence and confidence with their aircraft.
Optional scenario-based tuition can be delivered to ensure emergency service personnel are trained to the highest accountable standard, while an additional air law module is offered to ensure candidates are fully prepared to use the CAA Exemption for Emergency Services (E4506).
