Drone Training to suit you

No, not necessarily. Under the new drone rules, training depends on the type of drone you have and where you plan to use it; it is not dependent on whether or not the operation is commercial. For example, you can fly a sub 250g drone, like the DJI Mini Series, in the A1 Subcategory (flights over people) of the Open Category, without needing to conduct drone training - regardless of whether it is a commercial or recreational flight. If, however, a pilot wants to fly by the rules of the A2 Subcategory (flights close to people), they will need an A2 CofC - no matter if the flight is commercial or recreational. A flight in the A3 subcategory (flights far from people), does not require the operator to have completed drone training. But for operators wanting to fly in the Specific Category - aimed at enterprise drone missions - then GVC drone training is required, which allows pilots to apply for an Operational Authorisation (similar in scope to the old PfCO).

The cost of drone training depends on the course you take.

Are we the cheapest drone training provider? No. But, by training with us, you are buying into the comprehensive and integrated heliguy™ ecosystem, which includes additional training opportunities and lifetime support, as well as access to a vast stock inventory for dynamic drone supply, in-house repairs, and free consultancy.

These days, drones are so sophisticated and safe, that flying one isn't necessarily difficult. That said, one person's easy, is another person's difficult. It also depends how you plan to use the drone: The basic controls can be mastered relatively quickly, but learning how to operate around complex infrastructure - for instance - takes a lot more practice. With this in mind, our instructors are here to guide you through the process and make you a safe, confident and legal drone pilot. We've got plenty of experience of turning novice pilots into fully-fledged commercial operators.

No. Whether you have experience or not - our drone training school helps take you from novice to commercial pilot, regardless of any existing drone experience. Our curriculum is well-paced to ensure that those more recently entering the industry can get up to speed, while experienced pilots will still be getting value at every stage.
