Drone Training for the Construction industry
Comprehensive drone training courses, suitable for professionals in the construction industry throughout the UK.
Drones have proven to be an invaluable asset to the construction industry, offering unparalleled benefits from site surveying to safety monitoring. Utilising drone technology can significantly enhance efficiency, accuracy, and safety in construction projects. EEI provide comprehensive drone training programmes tailored specifically for the construction industry, equipping professionals with the skills needed to maximise the potential of this cutting-edge technology.
How can drones help the CONSTRUCTION IndustrY?
- Site Surveying and Mapping – drones provide high-resolution aerial imagery and 3D mapping, enabling accurate site surveys and topographical assessments. This technology helps in planning and design, reducing the time and cost associated with traditional surveying methods.
- Inspection and Maintenance – inspect hard-to-reach areas such as roofs, bridges, and tall structures, identifying potential issues like cracks, corrosion, or structural weaknesses. This proactive approach helps in maintenance planning and reducing downtime.
- Environmental Monitoring – monitor environmental conditions around construction sites, such as dust, noise levels, and water quality, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and minimising ecological impact.
- Safety and Compliance – enhance site safety by performing inspections in hazardous areas without putting workers at risk. They can also help ensure compliance with safety regulations by providing comprehensive site overviews.
- Progress Monitoring – regular drone flights can capture real-time progress images and videos, allowing project managers to monitor construction progress remotely. This improves project management and ensures timely completion of tasks.
- Volume Measurement – drones equipped with advanced sensors can accurately measure stockpile volumes and material quantities, aiding in inventory management and cost estimation.

EEI drone training for your industry
The Zeta drone course is our 4-day, combined General Visual Line of Sight Certificate (GVC) and A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC), Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) accredited drone training course, and aims to train students how to fly safely and manipulate sensors to support a wide range of drone applications.

- EEI Operations Manual template included
- EEI pen and notebook included

- Retraining and one theory and flight assessment retest included if required
All candidates will be expected to complete pre-course online learning through our e-learning platform, which will be followed by 2 days of classroom-based, instructor led theory. This will culminate in a written examination before you begin your flight training, which you will use to start preparing for your flight assessment on the final day of the course.
After students successfully complete the theory training and pass the examination, they will attain the A2 CofC. This achievement grants them permission to engage in flying within the Open category (low risk). Following this accomplishment, when students effectively complete the flight assessment along with an EEI-ratified Operation Manual they will receive a GVC. This qualification empowers them to seek operational authorisation from the CAA for conducting flights within the Specific category (increased risk).
There is an NVQ Level 3 and Level 4 bolt on available on all of our Zeta courses, both of which are eligible for ELCAS funding. Find out more here.

Testimonials
Ian quickly delivered the one day course in a style and at a pace that was relevant to the students. Very credible and could relate military experience to our operational requirements. He was also able to give pragmatic solutions and advice around some of the grey areas of legislation and emergency service use which was very helpful. Thames Valley Police
Did this for work (military). First time flying a drone and got competent quite quickly and the theory was heavy but taught well enough for a high pass on it. The instructor was former Forces so there was No BS. Really enjoyed it. Zeta South Student
As a novice to aviation I found the course very informative without being overwhelming. Zeta Student
Both Tim and & Ian were super knowledgable and very keen to make the training role specific for our individual departments. Really enjoyed it, keep up the good work. Avon and Somerset Police
The whole team was an absolute pleasure to work with, friendly and approachable with a good sense of humour. University of the West
Really good day with Matt and Ian. I think we all cam e away feeling far more confident with the M30T and night flying in particular. Environment Agency
