    The TQUK Level 5 Award for Commercial Drone Chief Pilots (RQF) is a nationally recognised, Ofqual-regulated qualification (qualification number 603/3890/8) built for experienced drone professionals who supervise remote pilots and take responsibility for commercial UAS operations. Awarded by TQUK and listed on the Regulated Qualifications Framework, this Level 5 chief pilot course covers operational planning, safety management systems, human factors, pilot deployment, record keeping and regulatory compliance, giving you the command-level competence expected of a chief pilot running a compliant, scalable drone operation.
