IPROSURV ACADEMY | FOUR-DAY IN-PERSON TRAINING

Build Your Knowledge.
Develop Your Practical Flying Skills.

Work towards your A2 CofC and GVC qualifications through four days
of instructor-led theory and practical drone training.

No Previous Flying Experience Required.

Four Days In Person

Learn directly with our instructors, combining classroom theory
and practical instruction throughout the programme.

Theory Meets Practice

Connect your learning with aircraft handling, flight preparation,
planning and practical operating procedures.

Two Qualifications

Work towards both your A2 CofC and GVC, subject to completing
the required learning and assessments.

Start Your Drone Training with Practical Support

You do not need to arrive as an experienced drone pilot.
Our combined course brings theory and practical instruction together
over four days, helping you develop your understanding and flying
skills with guidance from our instructors.

Whether you are developing a new skill, adding drone capability to
your existing role or preparing to operate within your organisation,
the programme provides a structured route towards qualification.

What Will You Learn?

Planning and Responsibilities

Understand airspace, operating responsibilities, site assessment
and the decisions involved in preparing a drone flight.

Aircraft and Conditions

Explore aircraft systems, performance, weather and human factors
that influence safe operating decisions.

Practical Flying

Develop aircraft handling, orientation, controlled manoeuvres,
pre-flight checks and practical operating procedures.

Your Four-Day Training Programme

Classroom learning and practical instruction are combined across the
four days. This helps you relate the theory to the decisions and
actions involved in operating an aircraft.

  • Instructor-led A2 CofC and GVC theory.
  • Airspace awareness and flight planning.
  • Weather, aircraft performance and operating limitations.
  • Site assessment and risk awareness.
  • Pre-flight preparation and aircraft checks.
  • Practical flying instruction and aircraft handling.
  • Normal and emergency operating procedures.
  • Preparation for the required qualification assessments.

Who Is This Course For?

Individuals starting their drone journey, employees developing a
new workplace capability and organisations preparing an internal
drone team.

No previous drone flying experience is required to join.
Tell us about your intended application and we can help you check
that the course is appropriate before booking.

Working Towards Your A2 CofC and GVC

The combined programme supports you through the learning and
preparation for both qualifications. Certificates are awarded
following successful completion of the applicable requirements
and assessments.

A qualification demonstrates pilot competence; it does not provide
unrestricted permission to fly. Your aircraft, location, operating
category and any required operational authorisation must also be
considered when planning work.

Learn from People Who Also Deliver Drone Operations

Iprosurv combines training with practical experience delivering
inspection, surveying and data capture work.
Our instructors connect the course content with the planning,
preparation and operating decisions involved in real projects.

You can also discuss the next stage of your development, including
mapping and photogrammetry training, equipment selection or
building a wider organisational drone capability.

Before You Attend

Our team will confirm your joining instructions, any registration
or preparation requirements, equipment arrangements and the
course timetable before you attend.

Practical flying is subject to suitable weather, site conditions
and safety assessments. We will explain the arrangements for
your selected course.
