Our 1-day, CAA accredited A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC) which can be delivered both in-person and online is suitable for all levels of drone pilot, whether you’re a beginner or if you’re renewing your certificate.
Upon completion of the A2 CofC ground school, you will have an in-depth knowledge surrounding the fundamentals of safely operating a drone.
Training will culminate in a multiple choice examination. When passed successfully and paired with flight log evidence demonstrating at least 2 hours of flying competency, you will earn you your A2 CofC, allowing you to fly within the Open Category (low risk).
If you do not have the necessary 2 hours of flying competency, our A2 CofC course is also available with our additional ½ day flying bolt on, providing 2 hours of 1-2-1 structured flying tuition. This will be scheduled within 45 days of your completed theory exam.

The course was very good, one to one remote access worked very well. Online A2 CofC Student
I really enjoyed the course and both instructors Tim and Matt made learning fun which helped with me passing the course. I had very little knowledge of drone legislation or flying prior to the course so it shows the high quality of teaching which helped me gain my golden wings and gain a 100% score.
