NVQ: Level 3 Certificate
Obtaining an NVQ Level 3 Certificate in Drone Operations offers a range of significant benefits for individuals aspiring to enter the drone industry. This credential is not only valuable for those who want to learn the fundamentals of drone technology, but it’s especially advantageous for individuals aiming to secure employment within the expanding field of commercial drone operations.
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 L3, or an NVQ L4, 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?

Testimonials
The course was very good, one to one remote access worked very well. Online A2 CofC 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 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 with excellent instruction. Gally was very personable and pitched the course at the right level. The theory element was quite technical but was made easier by the instruction. none of the course material was laboured, but there was enough explanation to check understanding. The practical element was made easy because of the quality of training. all together, an excellent course. would definitely use EE Innovations again and would have no hesitation in recommending you as a training provider.
