PfCO Conversion
Our PfCO Conversion course is a 1-day course designed convert your PfCO qualifaction to a General Visual Line of Sight Certificate (GVC), which is now required by the CAA.
Under new drone laws, which started on December 31st 2020, pilots now need an Operational Authorisation to operate in the Specific Category (increased risk), which refers to drone flights with an increased risk for other persons or air traffic.
If you have a PfCO qualification, you only have until the 31st of December 2023 to convert to a GVC before you lose your qualification all together and will need to fully retrain to earn your GVC.

Testimonials
Highly recommended. The instructors are very knowledgeable, patient and provide thorough training. Very enjoyable day. Many thanks. South West Water
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
Clearly a very experienced instructor, calm and professional. They managed to adapt their teaching methodologies to suit the needs of each student. Kent 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
Very good and helpful trainers. They understood the difference in our police role as drone operators. Kent Police
Excellent course. Tim was able to deliver all content in a way that made it easy to understand and more importantly, remember. The theory input provided a great starting point and ensured a seamless transition to the practical art of aviating the drones. The aspiration of earning “Gold Wings” is a fun incentive to work hard. Well done EEI Leicester Police
