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

Hi Alan,
I just want to say a big thank you for the 4 day PfCO course in Chester. Really good fun and very informative, allowing all 6 of us to pass the theory and flight test.
The night flying was very interesting as was the last day, that will be very helpful for me setting up a business.
If there is anyone sitting on the fence whether to take any of the courses, then stop and sign up for a course, you will not be disappointed!
thanks again

Good evening Alan
I’ve arrived back to my flat in Edinburgh on a much higher cloud than the one I left it on! What a great course that was…and what a wonderful weekend! Thanks very much for all your effort.
Hopefully there will be some good flying weather over the next week or so, while there is still some good colour in the glens.
Can’t wait now for Thessaloniki.
Cheers
Wally

Hi Simon
Many thanks for the night flying tuition . Not only did I find the content to be very useful, but it was also a good opportunity to reinforce other UAV operations knowledge.
Best wishes

Hi Alan – thanks so much again for such an amazing holiday and PfCO in Spain it really was exceptional! Yourself and Steve’s professionalism and hospitality knew no bounds and the whole package was beyond my wildest dreams. It really was something I’ll never forget so thank you.
Thanks also for all the follow up documents – another amazing difference to my experience with another drone training provider who just left me without any post course assistance.

I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say what a great time I have had this weekend with Simon down at Maidstone.
What a great chap he is !
Very informative, patient and good fun.
The course was really good and although tiring we managed to get everything done.
So, A massive Thank you to Simon and Phantom flight school for helping me with my venture.
Thank You again

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!
