Matt Williams, founder of Blue Skies Drone Training

Built by one of the world's most experienced drone training instructors.

Since 2014, our CEO, Matt Williams, has trained more than 66,500 drone pilots worldwide. He founded UAVHub, which became the world's largest drone training organisation and the UK's first Recognised Assessment Entity, and left in September 2024.

Blue Skies Drone Training is the next chapter, focused on clarity, confidence, and doing things properly.

Welcome to the Crew!

Why we're building Blue Skies Drone Training...

After training tens of thousands of drone pilots since 2014, one thing became very clear.

Most people don't struggle because the rules are complicated.

They struggle because they want to operate professionally, but the industry provides fragmented guidance from people who've never built a serious commercial operation.

Too often, pilots are left guessing. Piecing together information from documents, forums, and second-hand advice, without ever feeling truly confident that they're doing things right.

Blue Skies Drone Training exists to change that.

We're built to provide what serious operators actually need: clear guidance from people who helped set the standards and have been professional pilots.

We aim to provide comprehensive training that develops genuine competence, and we're here to deliver ongoing support that grows with your operation and business.

We want you to grow and thrive, so this amazing industry can do the same!

If you know Matt from his work at UAVHub: he left the company he founded back in 2024, and Blue Skies Drone Training is the ONLY place to get his latest, up-to-date training.

Closing that gap is the whole reason this exists."
