NVQ: Level 4 Diploma
Obtaining an NVQ Level 4 Certificate in Drone Operations not only signifies a higher level of expertise but also opens up a world of opportunities for individuals aiming to establish their own drone-related business, and serves as a powerful foundation for entrepreneurial endeavours.
To obtain an NVQ Level 4, an Operations Manual is required. The CAA provides an Operations Manual Template which should be used, as it meets the acceptable means of compliance and conforms to regulations. As part of our courses, you will be provided with all the information required to prepare for your own Operational Authorisation submission to the CAA.

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?

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
