great course
great course, met all my requirements and easily fitted around my hectic schedule allowing me to complete over several sessions instead of having to allocate a day to complete course work and exam.
had some issues getting onto exam module, but very responsive support from the team at AV8 and also ProctorU was able to identify issue was around internet providers safety settings.
all in all very pleased with course and qualification.

Excellent course!
AV8 drone course was excellent. Good course information, great to be able to go over the questions as often as you choose to and apart from the issues with the proctor set up (which was "bypass-able") and the remote adjudicator Stuart helped me get the set-up to complete, I thoroughly enjoyed finalising the FIRST part and will book the next course asap!!
Definitely recommend using AV8 to anyone for their support and course content.

Unprompted review
Reply from AV8 Flight School
Hi Paul, you can absolutely complete your exam using your Chromebook, you just have to get in touch to let us know. I believe this was explained a few weeks ago via Facebook messenger.
We would arrange a direct exam with one of the team here at AV8 and bypass the usual technical requirements needed by our virtual proctoring partner.
I've emailed across details of how to select a convenient time and schedule the time. It's super easy and only takes a minute.
All the best
Jon

Thanks to AV8 I got a job in drone delivery operations!
Thanks to AV8, I've secured a job working in drone delivery operations and I couldn't be happier! - Thanks so much for the amazing mentoring and support!
After doing my PFCO, GVC and A2 CoC with AV8, I approached AV8's CFI last month for 1 to 1 coaching to prepare for interviews with the BVLOS drone company.
With only a few days until the interview, Claw worked into the small hours of Monday morning with me making sure that I knew all the regulations, operational considerations and flight planning that needed to be done.
After the interview, they congratulated on how well I had answered their questions in the interview and mentioned how impressed they were on how thoroughly I knew the relevant stuff.
I had never picked up a drone before starting training with AV8 and now I am about to start on a new career doing BVLOS operations!
I can't even put into words how appreciative I am for the team at AV8, as well as an awesome course the instructors have so much knowledge I have absolutely felt supported the whole way!
Thanks so much AV8!
I hope to stay in touch!

Perfect Service
Purchased the course and had passed it 4 and half hours later, The information is delivered at just the right level for the requirements of the A2CofC qualification. The staff were friendly and approachable, and help was instant with the few questions that I had. There is a lot of competition in this market to deliver these qualifications, from the experience and hassle-free course I purchased, I would thoroughly recommend AV8 Flight School if you are looking to acquire your A2 license. From someone who has been flying drones for a living for 10 years now, I even gained some new knowledge from the course content.
