Coptrz Team Are Exceptional
As a company director, I know just how valuable positive feedback is — and this one is well deserved.
This week, I completed the GVC Drone Course delivered by Benny, and I was genuinely impressed by the quality of training delivered. What made it even more impressive was that this was our instructor’s first time delivering the course. You would never have guessed it.
His confidence, clarity, and composure were that of someone who had been teaching for years. The sessions were structured, informative, and engaging throughout. He created a supportive learning environment where questions were encouraged, complex topics were broken down with ease, and everyone felt involved.
The practical elements were handled brilliantly, and it’s clear he has a solid grasp of both the technical and operational sides of drone flying. I left the course feeling well-prepared, informed, and inspired.
A brilliant first delivery — I have no doubt he’ll go on to become a top-tier trainer. Highly recommended!
A big shout out to both Benny and Luke at Coptrz. Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you guys in the future.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review—this really means a lot to us. We’re delighted to hear how impressed you were with the GVC course, and particularly Benny’s delivery. For it to have been his first time running the course and to receive such high praise is a true testament to his preparation, knowledge, and natural ability as a trainer.
It’s also great to hear you felt supported, engaged, and well-prepared throughout—exactly the outcome we strive for in all our training. Benny and Luke will be over the moon with your feedback.
We really appreciate your recommendation and look forward to working with you again in the future!

Coptrz are a great organisation and all of their staff have been incredibly helpful. In particular, Niamh Craven is an excellent advocate for Coptrz and she always goes above and beyond to help me as I am starting my business - be it providing useful advice and guidance, highlighting technologies and use cases and giving me ideas to apply to what I’m doing.

Craptrz! xRead their negative reviews! scam company - sells you parts which don't even work together. Their pricing is so much higher than elsewhere as well. Once they have secured the sale they no longer care about you.

Great experience, lovely instructors
Want to thank the team at Coptrz for a great learning experience. Went into the GVC course with no experience of flying a drone or air law. Joel delivered some great teaching during ground school and made us all feel confident before taking our exam. Also a shout out to Dylan who took us through flight coaching and our flying exam, no question was too silly and Dylan had a fantastic approach to teaching, reassuring us that we were very capable! Feeling much more confident to head out flying now!
Jen and the team.

Paul is an excellent instructor/assessor - patient, gives clear instructions and provides good feedback. The course as a whole is constructed well and achieves the goal of giving ample preparation for flying a drone in line with UK regulations.

Very well ran course with excellent communication throughout process. I feel suitably trained to carry out UAS activity in the specified category as a result. In particular Bailey and Dillan were of great help. Bailey from a communication and assistance perspective prior to the course; and Dillan for his excellent delivery of the course itself.

GVC Training Course
The entire course was very engaging and very effective in making me understand all the important information needed. Both Joel and Dylan were great instructors who delivered the modules in a very clear and simple manner. The support provided through revision sessions for the tests were of great help and allowed me to feel confident going into it.

Poor service
Coptrz cancelled my A2 CofC purchased online, which was advertised at £57 inc VAT, stating they had forgotten to include VAT so I would need to reorder. It is now back up to £97 on the website.

There was a genuine pricing error on our website where VAT was incorrectly omitted from the displayed price. As soon as this was identified, we contacted affected customers, including yourself, to explain the issue and process refunds.
Coptrz Pro Instructor.
Dylan was an absolute legend as my GVC flight instructor! His expert guidance and top-notch approach made the whole process smooth and stress-free. He presented the exam to an incredibly high standard, and thanks to him, I passed with confidence. If you want a solid instructor who knows his stuff and keeps it professional, Dylan’s your guy.
Highly recommend COPTRZ.

GVC and Flight coaching with COPTRZ
I took the GVC course with Coptrz. Both Luke and Joel are amazing instructors! They were very engaging and explained everything in a very clear and nice manner, always making sure that we are fully prepared for the assessment. I also took the flight coaching with Luke and I now feel way more confident to go out there and fly my drone safely and effectively. I would highly recommend them!

The GVC course was delivered well, the Instructor knew what he was talking about, and the venue was great (apart from the parking, recommended if out of town use a private car park and Uber).
