A2 CofC and GVC Combined (Online & Classroom)

This Learning Plan includes both the A2 Certificate of Competency and the General VLOS Certificate combined at a reduced price.

The A2 Certificate of Competency is a remote pilot competency certificate primarily intended to assure safe operations of unmanned aircraft close to uninvolved persons. The certificate assures an appropriate knowledge of the technical and operational mitigations for ground risk (the risk of a person being struck by the unmanned aircraft). An A2 CofC is required when Operating in the A2 Subcategory of the Open category.

The General VLOS Certificate has been developed for the operation of a drone with a MTOM of <25kg within the Specific Category under an Operational Authorisation granted by the UK CAA.

The RP will be required to sign a self-declaration stating they have a minimum of 2 hours flying experience to satisfy the requirements of the A2 CofC element of the course. On successful completion of the GVC element of the course you will be able to apply to the UK Civil Aviation Authority to gain your Operational Authorisation.

This course includes nine online training modules accessed through RUAS Learning Management System, followed by 1-day classroom based training at RUAS’ training facility, the production of an Operations Manual followed by a practical flight assessment at a later date to suit the student. The student must hold an Operator ID/Flyer ID prior to arrival on the course.
