Who this is for
Councils, emergency services, utilities, surveyors, estates, production companies, universities, charities: if you're putting more than one person through drone training, and you need to know where they've all got to, this page is for you.
Between us, our team has trained thousands of organisations since 2014, and the same three things got in the way every time. Booking and paying was slow. The people being trained had to be added by hand. And nobody could tell the person paying how it was going without being asked. So when we built our own training platform, we built all three out.
What's different
How it works
Oversight
The person paying for training is usually the last to hear how it's going. Traditionally that meant ringing the training provider, waiting while someone compiled a report, and getting a snapshot that was already out of date.
Oversight managers get their own view of every learner on your account: who's started, how far they've got, who's passed and when. It's live, it's yours, and it's there whenever and wherever you need it, rather than when a training company gets round to sending it.
Pricing
One person or ten, the price is the one on the course page, and you can buy today: the A2 CofC now, and the GVC as soon as the online course opens.
Putting a larger number of people through? We're open to a conversation about volume pricing, invoicing and timing that fits your rota. Tell us the requirement and we'll answer in writing.
Charities
We're building a complimentary training programme for registered charities and constituted voluntary organisations. It's still being shaped, so we're not stating terms or promising places yet. If that's you, say so on the form below and we'll tell you the moment it's ready.
Who's behind it
Matt Williams founded one of the UK's first National Qualified Entities in 2014, and in 2020 the UK's first Recognised Assessment Entity, the CAA's current standard for drone training. He wrote the first A2 CofC and GVC courses ever approved by the UK CAA, and built and exited what became the world's largest drone training organisation. Between them, the team has trained more than 66,500 pilots, a great many of them on behalf of their employers, and the platform your people will use was built from that experience.

Questions
Yes. Buy however many seats you need, then name people against them whenever you're ready. Nothing starts until you do.
No. Each person starts when you allocate their seat and they log in. Stagger them however your rota needs.
Every learner on your account: whether they've started, how far through they are, and whether they've passed. It's live, so it's current whenever you look.
Yes, for larger groups. Card payment online is the quick route and gets people enrolled immediately. If you need an invoice or a purchase order, tell us on the form and we'll sort it.
For larger numbers, yes. We'd rather talk than publish a table, because it depends on how many people and over what period. Tell us the requirement and we'll answer in writing.
Whoever you nominate: a training lead, a line manager, a compliance officer. They get access to the dashboard for your learners.
We run in-person GVC courses too, and dates are coming soon. If you'd rather your people trained together in a room, tell us on the form.
Yes. We update and manage operations manuals for individual pilots through to corporate fleets, and we help with CAA audits. See ops manual updates and CAA audit guidance.
Exactly the same course, exam and certificate, and each of your people gets the same twelve months in the community and the monthly group session with Matt. The difference is the seats, the allocation and the oversight, which are yours.
Enquiries
How many people, which course, and when. Procurement questions welcome. We answer in writing and in detail.
