Inspiring
I have been flying drones for 3½ years so was expecting this to be a revision and conversion session from PfCO to the new CAA A2 Certificate of Competence.
This day-long course was so much more. Lots of current information, professionally delivered in a fun and entertaining way. The conviction and enthusiasm of the instructors was inspiring. I now feel much more confident about my drone flying in these challenging and changing times.

The best providers in the industry.
These guys delivered exactly what they promised. I learned a huge amount of information in a relaxed environment. Although the sessions were intense and information heavy they remained fun and interesting. I have no hesitation in recommending UAV8 to anybody interested in drones and using them commercially.

Review of UAV8 PfCO Course
Excellent and knowledgeable company providing this UAV training. The course goes in depth on air navigation law, the weather system, gps and maps, and the full range of hazards and requirements, that you need to know to operate safely and within the law.
If every drone user had undertaken this course then there would certainly have been a massively reduced number of incidents which caused all the chaos last year, operators would have known and understood the requirements of air law for everyone’s safety.
This would have also stopped drones having a very bad press which is a great shame, as they have such beneficial uses as the emergency services are utilising.
In summary great course, great outfit would 100% recommended for any company or individual training requirements.

They never let you down. Great People.
This company is wonderful to deal with. You simply cannot fault their attention to detail with every aspect of what they do. Time and money are well spent with UAV8. If UAV8 organizes something then it will be good.

I've had an amazing experience with the UAV8. The staff were so helpful, friendly and insighful. I highly recommend them.
I can't recommend UAV8 enough...
What a fantastic, professional outfit. I can't recommend UAV8 enough. They came highly recommended to me by a friend and they didn't let me down. On the contrary. Experience wise - these guys have been there, done that, got the T-shirt ten times over. Flying Apache helicopters in the heat of battle in Afghanistan is just one example. They bring this real life experience to the course and provide a very practical aspect to the learning. It therefore becomes very engaging and you learn so much more than just the theory of everything. You leave feeling empowered and ready to go out and fly your Drones practically and safely. I really can't recommend the UAV8 team highly enough. Thanks again guys, Ant.

The ONLY company you should do your PFCO with!
This is by far one of the best training courses I have ever been on! The instructors each had a unique personality and way of teaching. Their military backgrounds and experience training shows.
If you're considering doing your PFCO, this is the company to choose!
They have been quick to reply to any queries and were more than happy to help. There is a reason they have a 100% pass rate and that is down to their professionalism and teaching skills.
Don't think twice if this is the right course for you, book it now!
