The course, which includes both the GVC and A2 Certificate of Competence (A2 CofC), is part of the UK’s adoption of a harmonised European framework for drones, set to come into force on November 1st 2020.

Said Jon Anderson, CEO of AV8, “it’s difficult to overstate the contribution made by the women and men of the emergency services; if the past several months have shown us anything, it’s that their dedication and hard work saves lives. We wanted to contribute in some small way to their continued operation and, with the tremendous success of our EASA courses over the last few weeks, we saw an opportunity to help”.

As the UK’s leading provider of virtual drone training, AV8 are able to support completion of their GVC / A2 CofC courses entirely online. Students study through the company’s virtual learning environment with on-demand access to instructors over Zoom.

If you’d like to enrol under this programme, please email [email protected] for more details. A small charge of £100 per student (inc. VAT) is charged to help cover the costs of the course.
