Highly Recommended, easy process from start till I passed first go.. A* @ AV8
I was a little concerned at first, as to the content and how would be delivered, after speaking with AV8 several times and, having the process and how the course content was going to be delivered. I'm glad to say I did sign up and passed a few days later. The whole process from start to finish was really smooth and any questions I had where quickly answered. For anyone wanting to get the A2 CofC I personally say you can't go wrong with the AV8 team. If you have any questions ref the content and delivery of the course then ask the team at AV8, I did and had soon passed, roll on december 31st.

I recently did my A2 certification with AV8 and overall it was pretty good. There were a couple of technical issues, but their support team were quickly on hand to sort any issues. Some may be put off as they are cheaper than most, bust rest assured they offer a great service.

Good course content and well worth the money. What I found particularly useful is you don't just pay for a one off course and exam - you pay for the ability to access all of the information again and again over a period of a year should it be required with full support and a professional level of service.

A2 CofC Course
I did my A2 CofC study course and exam with AV8 last week and I must say I found the course very professional, informative, easy to navigate around, and they are hugely cheaper than the competition. It’s a self paced course and I found myself immersed in the content so I now not only have the benefit of having the A2 CofC I also have a lot more knowledge to ensure the proper operation and safety of my myself, my equipment, property and involved/uninvolved people. Just 2 slight negatives which hopefully AV8 will take on board! There are quite a few spelling mistakes within the course work and this gives the feeling of lower quality (which is 100% not the case) and I found the process of booking the exam and the Procter a little confusing. I hope that AV8 will take these 2 critiques as a positive and address them both! I would without a doubt recommend AV8 to anyone looking to improve their knowledge and experience and I will definitely be returning to do my GVC in the near future.
Many thanks to Jon and the team at AV8 👏👏👏👏

I really appreciate the candid feedback Barry, particularly around the two issues you've highlighted. We're undertaking a series of reviews over the next two weeks to locate and correct the typo's and we have a session booked with our proctor provider to see how the exam side can be simplified. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience with us, it goes a long way to help us improve :-)

What can I say? Simple, Straightforward, easy to follow and concise. Took 5 hours from signup to A2CofC completion.
Half the price of most other training companies too. You won't regret it!!
Happy user here. Thanks guys.

Recommended CAA Approved drone course.
Course very well presented. A few tiny mistakes in some slides.
When contacted, the team was very responsive.
These factors resulted in a 97% pass mark which was unexpected, so very well done. Would recommend!

Excellent online course
I recently completed the PfCO to GVC upgrade which included the A2 CoC. The course was completed online and the platform used was excellent. The online course itself was very easy to navigate with excellent clear content. It was also nice to know that instructors were on hand if required via the portal.
The content was pitched at the correct level albeit as a professional aviator myself the majority of the knowledge was well within my grasp, I believe that due to the excellent platform and structure of the course others with less experience will find it a pleasant learning environment to achieve the qualification. The price point was also excellent. I would highly recommend AV8.

GVC upgrade
I have just completed my gvc conversion with AV8 online. The course material is up to date and relevant. The online proctor service is second to none ensuring strict standards are adhered too. Having completed my PFCO earlier this year through a proxy using AV8 I will be recommending them to anybody wishing to pursue qualifications in drone piloting.

Awesome experience
After the inquiry I made via the website, I was called by a very polite, professional and knowledgeable guy called Jon. We chatted for quite a while and he went through all the complications of the new regs with me. For me this was the deciding factor in signing up to the online training.
I'm really glad I did. This is by far the most polished, clear and concise yet informative training experience I've undertaken.
For a current PfCO holder the conversion course was great, it was like a refresher course and then a bit of extra knowledge around the new rules. I particularly appreciated the practice runs.
When it came time to take the exam it was full on, I had to speak to a human and show them via webacam, my working area etc to make sure it was all legit. A very reassuring and professional process.
And the best bit is that at the end of it all I have a digital certificate attached to my Google Wallet and an actual certificate to print out unlike the underwhelming PfCO letter.
I can not recommend these folks enough.
Bravo AV-8.

I just completed my A2 CofC with AV8.
The course was well structured and informative.
AV8 answered my questions quickly and friendly. I would have no problems recommending them to anyone.
The course is extremely well priced, which I think is key to getting more people trained to understand their aircraft and conditions, which inevitably with make drone and model aircraft safer for everyone.
Thank you AV8
