Emergency Services

Our CAA accredited Emergency Services drone training combines both the A2 CofC and GVC with bespoke training exercises catered to the needs of your industry. This course can be delivered at one of our training sites across the UK, or a bespoke location depending on suitability and course numbers.

  • Learn from ex-military drone experts

This training is designed for groups of Emergency Services professionals from organisations such as Fire and Rescue, Police and Ambulance and will take place over 5 days, with a similar structure to our Zeta course.

All students will be expected to complete pre-course learning through our e-learning platform prior to starting the course. This will be followed by 2-days of classroom-based, instructor-led theory training culminating in a multiple-choice written examination for your A2 CofC, and 3 days practical flight training tailored to emergency situations, and will finish with a practical flight assessment. Upon successful completion of your flight assessment, you will receive your GVC.

These qualifications, alongside the practical skills developed through bespoke training exercises catered to your industry, will leave you with the professionalism and confidence to operate a drone safely in a variety of situations.

    2. Ian (Gally) did an amazing job teaching our group! He made the course fun and had lots of time and patience. Learned a lot and feel confident flying. Thank you so much. Can’t recommend Eagle Eye Innovations highly enough. Zeta Closed Student

    3. I really enjoyed the course and both instructors Tim and Matt made learning fun which helped with me passing the course. I had very little knowledge of drone legislation or flying prior to the course so it shows the high quality of teaching which helped me gain my golden wings and gain a 100% score. Zeta Central Student

    4. 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

    5. 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

    6. Excellent course, professionally delivered and time management was excellent also. No time wasted, nothing rushed. Zeta Central Student
