A2 CofC Online Course

The A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC) is a drone qualification that allows you to fly small drones “close to people”.

Under the current regulations, you can operate a drone commercially for the first time without needing to spend thousands of pounds on training and CAA Permissions.

The A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC) is now the first building block of a drone pilot training, for individuals wanting to start a drone business and organisations wanting to use drones commercially in their operations.

The CAA A2 CofC Online Course allows you to fast track becoming a Qualified Drone Pilot, either from your own home or by attending one of our ground school courses. This will allow you to fly safe and legal as a now there is no differentiation  between  a hobby or commercial Drone Pilot.

The commercial drone training course qualifies you for the A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC) enabling you to fly drones within the A2 Sub-Category of the Open Category under the new regulations and provides you with a strong foundation of drone pilot knowledge.

The new A2 subcategory will allow you to ‘fly closer to people’ if you hold an CAA A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC).

You can also fly older 'Legacy' drones that weigh less than 2Kg. Legacy drones such as the DJI Mavic, DJI Mavic 2, DJI Phantom 4 and Parrot Anafi can be flown under your A2 Certificate.

The A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC) is a tremendous qualification for people to hold.

Especially when you consider that the A2 CofC online course is only £99 and the Commercial Drone Training online GVC course is only £379.  Your A2 Certificate of Competency (A2CofC) certificate is valid for five years.

To get your A2 Certificate of Competency (A2CofC) you need to complete an A2 CofC Online Training Course and Theory Exam with a CAA Approved Drone Training school (RAE) like us and then you can take advantage of the opportunities this new qualification offers for Drone Pilots who want to fly small drones.
