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.

Clearly a very experienced instructor, calm and professional. They managed to adapt their teaching methodologies to suit the needs of each student. Kent Police
Steve provided excellent instruction and hands on experience. The pace he adopted and calm demeanour were first rate, enhancing the confidence and learning experience for myself, enabling a successful outcome. Kent Police
The instruction from Steve and Gally was excellent. They understood the need to translate the course content into a practical way that we as Kent Fire & Rescue Service will us it. I believe all the content was covered and as a candidate I gained confidence at flying using the hand held screen and camera. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone getting involved with any drone activities. Kent Fire and Rescue Service
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
