RADICALLY BETTER
Our three day weekday PfCO Course is, for us, one of the best way to get your licence from the CAA to fly a drone commercially.
We are entirely customer-focused. Our PfCO Course is designed with one thing in mind – to get you ready to perform at a high level as a commercial drone pilot as quickly and painlessly as possible.
We have twelve PfCO qualified drone pilots on the team, flying commercial missions, and teaching practical drone flying skills, every day. During 2018 we taught more than 1,000 people how to fly drones, and supported more than 4,500 drone flights. We put everything we have learned from this deep experience of drone flying into every PfCO Course. To give you the very best start to your commercial drone flying career possible.
THE FASTEST ROUTE TO GETTING YOUR PFCO
Our unique Course structure includes everything you need to get your PfCO immediately you complete our Course. During the Course we cover all this: Ground School; Theory Test; Operations Manual completion; Practical Drone Flying Training; Risk assessment and Pre-flight Planning; Insurance options; and Flight Test. We even help you to fill out your application form to apply for your PfCO from the CAA.
Note: we deliver this Course in collaboration with 3iC (NQE No. 0116/1625). They provide their unique Online Ground School, and provide the certificates you need to get your PfCO from the CAA. We do everything else, including especially providing the practical, real world elements of the Course, face-to-face in the classroom, and on the training ground when we are flying drones and completing your Flight Test.
When you come on our Course, you will complete in just three days what can often take people two to three months to complete

Had a great 3 days with Alan passing my PfCO down in Maidstone at the Mercure Great Danes hotel. The course had a great balance of theory and practical. The fourth day was lead by Simon where we learned about Drone Deploy and intelligent flight modes! I have already used drone deploy and it is a great tool.
Once again thank you Alan and Simon can’t wait for the night flight to add to my PfCO later this year when the nights draw in a bit earlier.
I highly recommend doing a PfCO course with Phantom Flight School!

I’ve just spent the last three days at the Phantom Flight School in Chester taking my PfCo which I’m pleased to announce was a success, the instruction with Alan was fantastic and covered literally everything you need to know, not only was it educational but a lot of fun and on times hard work,
Having spent the last 3 years procrastinating over which NQE to select I can honestly say I made the right choice going with the Phantom Flight School and have no hesitation recommending them.

Just back from Adalucia Spain. Well how do I sell this…The most amazing time with Alan and his team, Steve and Stephan. The locations, food, accommodation and the way the whole trip was so professionally delivered was fantastic. If your on the fence, don’t worry, just choose your trip and book your place. You’ll not be disappointed and you will learn something to no matter what level you are at. So looking forward to the pyrenees in 2020. Thank you once again Alan, Steve and Stephan.

I have recently and successfully completed my PfCO in Chester with Alan Proto and Phantom Flight School. Alan is a very good and methodical teacher, knows the business inside out, and gave us all the confidence we needed to help us complete the course. A few months prior to doing this course, I also spent a couple of hours on a 1:1 flying workshop with Alan which I can also highly recommend.
Kind regards,
Nick

Hi Simon,
Thanks very much for the last 3 days. It was very enjoyable and you were very good at simplifying everything to help the process of understanding all the new information I was taking in. Thanks again!
Kind Regards,

I have just successfully completed my PfCO down at Maidstone with PhantomFlightSchool. 2.5 days in total, and one full day of flying including a night flight, which was amazing and something not to be missed. Simon is a knowledgeable and extremely capable instructor and he gave me plenty of confidence to get out there. I am shortly off to Spain for a month and taking with me a Mavic Pro 2 Zoom and hope to get some good photography whilst there.
