Online courses are a great way to get qualified to fly your drone, but not everyone benefits from the online learning style. Our face-to-face GVC course takes just three days to complete and it's a great asset for students who need more one on one guidance or more direct instruction.

Meet James Pick,
Drones in Surveying Global Expert
As a surveyor by trade James knows the importance of making strategic decisions that ensure your organisation is achieving survey-grade data for your projects. Every organisation is unique and that’s why it’s important that your drone solution is too.
“I was recommended to James via Chris York @ Buckingham group, from the first phone call through the buying process James was brilliant. I’ve had drones for over 5 years but with James’ help, I decided the next step was to purchase the Phantom 4 RTK and Pix4D. James and the team have been excellent throughout my setup, even available through WhatsApp within minutes! Thank you for all your help and look forward to working with you ” – BB Surveys Ltd

FLIGHT TEST LOCATIONS TO SUIT YOU
While most of our drone training courses can be completed completely online, some more advanced courses will require you to do a short flight test.
Studying with Coptrz Academy gives you access to the largest number of flight test centres across the UK including Northern Ireland. That means you won’t be travelling long distances to take a 1.5 hour long flight assessment (if required as part of your training).
