DESCRIPTION

Fast-track your path to professional drone operations with our immersive 3-day General Visual Line of Sight Certificate (GVC) classroom course. Designed for aspiring commercial drone pilots who want expert guidance and hands-on experience, this in-person training gives you everything you need to fly with confidence and compliance.

What to Expect

Two Days of Expert-Led Classroom Training
Build a strong foundation with two full days of guided learning. Our seasoned instructors walk you through the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) syllabus, offering live demonstrations, interactive sessions and personalised support. You will gain a clear understanding of airspace, risk management, regulations and drone safety.

Theory Exam on Day 2
Your knowledge is tested with the official GVC theory exam at the end of the second day. With practical preparation and real-time guidance, you will be equipped to succeed.

One-Day Practical Flight Assessment
Day three is dedicated to flying. You will complete a practical Flight Assessment where you demonstrate safe, competent and compliant flying. This essential evaluation forms part of your GVC qualification and ensures you are flight-ready.

The test will be conducted outdoors, and candidates must sufficiently show competence in a range of pre-and-post-flight actions and in-flight procedures. All candidates must complete the practical flight test.
