Frequently Asked Questions
What is A1, A2, and A3 categories of operating a <25kg drone?
The categories of operations are known as A1, A2, and A3. They are classified as:
- A1 (fly over people)
- A2 (fly close to people)
- A3 (fly far away from people)
The basic CAA Drone Code will tell you everything you need to pass the test for a flyer ID, which allows you to fly in Open A1 and A3 categories.
What is the difference between the Open and Specific categories?
The Specific category covers operations that present a greater risk than that of the Open category, or where one or more elements of the operation fall outside the boundaries of the Open category. You must pass the online test and hold a Flyer-ID, and register as a UAS operator, and display your Operator ID on your UAS.
Who provides the A2 CofC and GVC training?
The A2 CofC and GVC training is provided by our experienced EEI Academy instructors. We are recognised by the CAA and their courses are designed to expand your theoretical knowledge to ensure you operate safely and appropriately.

Testimonials
I was made to feel welcome from the outset. Suffering from PTSD I was very nervous and apprehensive about attending but was given sufficient information beforehand and made comfortable from arrival. It's been one of the most rewarding courses I've done as I was able to enjoy the course and not have to worry about myself. Simon Garland-Lo
Excellent course, professionally delivered and time management was excellent also. No time wasted, nothing rushed. Zeta Central Student
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
I throughly enjoyed this course, the teaching was world class. Instructors made me feel welcome and went above and beyond. Steve took me for my drone flying section, his teaching methods and knowledge is world class. Tim made theory enjoyable and easy to learn but world class. Zeta Central Student
Overall, it was the best formal course I've undertaken in over 30 years in the military. Thank you. Zeta Central Student
