A2 CofC / GVC License Training

Fantastic A2 CofC / GVC Training Course, provided by the team at Heliguy. The team are very helpful and knowledgeable. They have assisted me with all parts of my theory, practical and operations manual.

Big shout out, to Lois & Ody for their assistance & flexibility throughout my practical assessment.

Would recommend their training course to anyone looking to gain their licence A2 CofC / GVC licence and become a commercial drone operator.

Very friendly and straightforward

Our company trained six new drone pilots in April (GVC), the whole experience was very well structured from start to finish.
The theory part was online and provided all the needed pre-practical knowledge, easy exam.
During the practical training we were shown everything required to operate safely and use the drone's functionality. As well, the practical exam was easygoing and the instructors were helpful throughout.

Friendly and extremely knowledgeable…

Friendly and extremely knowledgeable team of people, never more than a phone call away and always happy to help. I received all the support I needed to pass through my training and examinations with ease. We also use HG as the supplier for out drones and parts. Couldn't recommend more highly. Thank you to Rauiri, Faye, Tom and all that helped me along the way.

2 Days Practical training and Flight Assessment GVC

I was 1 person in a cohort off 6 undertaking training to pass the GVC Drone test. Days 1 and 2 spent getting used to operating a drone, undertaking risk assessment's, checking the drones over, understanding flight crew briefings etc. Day 3 was assessment day, that put all what we learnt into practice - fortunately I passed!!!!
Brandon and Chris were extremely competent in imparting the knowledge, brilliant trainers (even for me being an older dude!!) however Chris did have some dodgy jokes.
2 days practical training does focus your mind but maybe for myself another day might have allowed me to be less nervous on the final day and relaxed me but in the end a pass is a pass. Great training , great company and even the weather held for us. Thanks guys.

Brilliant course...

Brilliant course delivered by the Heliguy team.

Thorough theory course and brilliant mock exams.

Practical course was also very thorough and content always made relevant to our industry and how we will potentially use the drones on a day to day basis.

What a (Heli)guy! 😎

The course staff are excellent, extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The materials and learning management system are clear, concise, thorough, and easy to use. I very much enjoyed my time working towards the A2 CofC and can wholeheartedly recommend Heliguy to anyone wishing to get their A2 CofC licence. I'll definitely be enrolling in more courses in the future. Thanks to all the staff 😁

First Class Training

Carried out my GVC and A2 CofC training with Heliguy in March.
This is a course we have been asking to get on for a while at work and I am so happy our company use Heliguy.
The course was harder than I thought but the trainers - Jack, Brandon and Lois delivered the training brilliantly and were very professional. I was more worried about the theory side of things but to be honest the trainers delivered it so well that I managed to pass.
We had to travel up again to Newcastle to carry out flight assessment because we were unable to complete that because of the weather on the last 2 days.
Even then Heliguy were quick to get us back up there to complete our training and again it was first class training given.
I would recommend this company to anyone because its the best course I have ever been on. Keep up the good work.

Quick turnaround - excellent service

Really impressed with the way Andrew and the team dealt with an urgent repair on our M300 which was needed back in service for an imminent job. Communications were excellent and the repair solved our issue. We've used Heliguy for many years and happy to continue our relationship with them both for purchases and repairs.

Hi Jon,
I wanted to touch base regarding the complications with your recent order, which unfortunately led to some frustration.
The root of the issue seems to be the address provided during the order process, which was incomplete. This initial oversight complicated matters right from the start.
In an attempt to resolve this, we noted that there was an effort to change the delivery address directly through DPD. While we understand the intention might have been to expedite the delivery, it's important to note that altering delivery details in this manner is a known fraud risk, especially for high-value items. As such, DPD has strict policies against it, which prevented the change.
Further complicating the situation were communications from several individuals concerning this order, with none verified as the cardholder. When we tried to address these delivery issues, the interactions unfortunately became strained.
Given these challenges, we were left with no option but to issue a full refund and propose a BACs payment for the purchase, to ensure a more straightforward process.
Best Regards
Heliguy

GVC and A2 CofC training…

Carried out my GVC and A2 CofC training with Heliguy at Shrigley Hall, the course was difficult and quite possibly the hardest course I have ever undertaken. There were many times where I thought I wouldnt be successful, however, the course instructors were great, Brandon and Lois delivered some great content and albeit slightly death by power point they still managed to make the sessions engaging, really good job. Jack was my flight instructor and he was class, after the first day I was ready to hang up my wings but Jack managed to reassure me throughout, his teaching methods were brilliant.
Overall, great experience and would recommend Heliguy to anyone wanting to do this course.
