CAA Drone Training course

CAA Drone Training to Gain Your Permission for Commercial Operations
Our fully approved CAA Drone Training Course takes place over a 4 day period in total and includes a pre-course study guide, ground school lessons, theory test, flight test and operations manual review. The Belfast and Aberdeen courses run across 3 days, with the flight test taking place on the third day.

In addition to your PfCO, UK NQE COPTRZ can also separately provide you with an academically registered qualification under OFQUAL (Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation) as a Level 4 award. That means if you choose COPTRZ for your PfCO, you’ll have the option to receive a vocational Level 4 award recognised across the board by employers in many sectors, representing a standard between an A-level and a degree (ONC/HNC level). This qualification is available as an additional extra.

Day 1 & 2 Ground School
The first two days of the COPTRZ CAA Drone Training Course will cover your theory learning and theory assessment. Your trainer will take you through the full 8 modules required by the CAA, after which you will complete a multiple choice examination.

Day 3 Pre Planning and Business Considerations
The third day of the course covers everything you need to do to plan for a live job. It will also offer you an insight into getting your commercial drone business off the ground. Your trainer will walk you through the process of completing pre-flight planning, safe setup and site surveying. They will also talk you through the flight assessment process.

Day 4 Flight Assessment
You can complete your flight assessment on the fourth day of the course if you feel confident in your drone flying abilities. The flight assessment is included in the cost of the course and can be rearranged for a later date if required.
