ABOUT THE COURSE
The OFQUAL 5 is designed to give operators the skills and confidence to take on multi-million pound, large UAV projects that involve more than one pilot. The aim of this course is to give you the skills, knowledge and confidence to take on large UAV projects. This isn’t about your skills as a pilot, this is about levelling up your project management skills to ensure you have everything covered. The course covers everything we wish we knew at the time to prevent us from making costly mistakes.
The Coptrz Academy OFQUAL Level 5 Award is regulated by an independent body so you can be certain of teaching excellence and course quality. By training with us, you’ll be recognised as a professional in your field of play.
This course is recognised internationally. It is the UK standard which you can check on the Europa website here. There are equivalents to the OFQUAL in many different countries, it’s worth mentioning that OFQUAL itself is especially recognised in English-speaking countries such as Canada, Middle East, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand.
The course covers managing the deployment of Commercial Drone Pilots, management of Flight Log Records, managing the audit and maintenance of on-site equipment, planning and operation with an Operational Safety Case (OSC), planning and operation with Extended Visual Line of Sight (EVLOS) and Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) and planning and operating safely in congested areas.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT COPTRZ ACADEMY
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Your business wants to win the big contracts
In our previous business Martek Marine, we won a contract of £67 million for a Maritime Drone Contract involving BVLOS flying across different areas of Europe. The tender process to win the contract was an eye-opener to what needs to be considered, what needs to be invested in and what the standard should be for large drone operations. We’ve packaged up all that learning into this course so you don’t make the same costly mistakes we did.
You’re operating UAV in complex situations
If you plan on operating drones in complex situations like congested areas or Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS), you'll need to apply for an Operational Safety Case (OSC). This course will teach you how to apply, plan and operate under an OSC.
Your organisation wants to expand their drone team
If you’re just going out taking pictures on a part-time level, then this isn’t the course for you. It’s for organisations and service providers that want to deliver large scale projects and want to have the management skills in-house to run them. Even if you aren't the one flying, this course will give you the confidence to lead a team of operators on large, complex UAV operations.

FAQs
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Yes. It is the UK standard which you can check on the Europa website here. There are equivalents to the OFQUAL in many different countries, it’s worth mentioning that OFQUAL itself is especially recognised in English-speaking countries such as Canada, Middle East, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand.
You do need a PfCO, GVC, A2 CofC or any other country equivalent to do the course but there is no requirement on the course for any significant flying experience. The course structure is theory-based with no practical assessments. The modules are framed around project management as opposed to the actual deployment of drones. If you are more likely to be managing the operators who are flying the drones rather than operating the drones themselves then the OFQUAL 5 would be suitable for you.
Yes, you certainly can, as long as you have a valid PfCO, GVC, A2 CofC or your country’s equivalent to this then you can enrol on the OFQUAL 5. The course is available classroom-based in the UK but also can be done from distanced learning by logging into our COPTRZ Academy learning portal, so the course can be done in it’s entirety from anywhere in the world.
A Chief Drone Pilot is equivalent to a Manager or a Team Leader. There is nothing stopping someone from being a Chief Drone Pilot and getting involved in the actual operation and deployment of drones but this course specifically is aimed at upskilling someone who would be managing a team of drone operators.
The OFQUAL Level 5 Award for Cheif Drone Pilots course can only be completed online.
