L5 Course details

The first (attendance) phase gets you flying safely and focuses on getting you into the aviator mindset, with fully CAA approved training.  Starting with our A2CofC and GVC ground school and exam, fully insured practical flying lessons on our drones and finally a flying assessment that qualifies you to the CAA's GVC standard. 

The L5 includes our GVC+ course adds in vital knowledge and skills to get you up and running and able to use a drone much more effectively. We use the term 'Fly Safely - Operate Effectively' - the GVC gets you to Fly Safely, the GVC+ (GVC Plus) take you on to be able to Operate Effectively by showing you many more of the features of DJI Enterprise drones, using alternate payloads and a back ground in how they operate. 

If you are looking to apply for your own CAA issued PDRA-01 Operational Authorisation, we will also provide your Operations Manual template and support you with direct advice and guidance to ensure your application is successful.   The cost of applying to the CAA for a Specific Category PDRA-01 Operational Authorisation is NOT included in the course price.

 The second phase's aim is to get the L5 workbook completed - take this away with you on completion of the training to research and complete in your own time.  We will support you to ensure that you are able to complete it successfully.  Once it meets the assessment criteria, TQUK will issue your L5 Award.

What is the difference between the L4 and the L5 courses?

Both courses include the GVC and A2CofC qualifications, but the L5 includes our GVC+ as well. The L4 workbook is based on the GVC, whereas the L5 workbook takes you much further into the detail of the knowledge and skills required to manage flying organisation.
