Major Change in the UK Drone Regulations
The current UK drone regulations came into force on 31 December 2020. Many people flying a drone do not realise the have to fly to the rules of the UK Open Category. The above table CAP 2012, helps explain the Open Category distances a drone must stay away from uninvolved people. Even if you are flying an under 250g drone, an A2CofC is a valuable proof of competence and understanding of the UK drone law structure.
The A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC)
Under the current regulations, you can operate a drone commercially for the first time without needing to spend thousands of pounds on training and CAA Permissions.
The A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC) is now the first building block of a drone pilots training.
Our CAA A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC) Online Course allows you to fast track becoming a Qualified Drone Pilot in less than a day, from your own home. This will allow you to fly safe and legal as a CAA qualified Drone Pilot.
Especially when you consider that our A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC) online course is only £99 and our online A2 CofC & GVC combined course is only £399. Your A2 Certificate of Competency (A2CofC) and GVC certificates are both valid for five years.
To get your A2 Certificate of Competency (A2CofC) you need to complete an A2 CofC Training Course and Theory Exam with a CAA Approved Drone Training school (RAE).
If you have any questions about the new A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC) contact Mike by email on mike@a2certificateof competency.co.uk or telephone direct on 07889 767 398.
Combined A2 CofC & GVC Course
The A2 CofC / GVC combined course is the most efficient way to get both certificates done in one go.
The A2 CofC & GVC CAA qualifications are both valid for five years before you need to renew it.
The theoretical part of the online course is completed in the comfort of your own home on the device of your choosing.
As you work through the course you can test your knowledge with our free GVC mock tests.
Once the students complete the online GVC exam then they book and attend a CDT testing location for their GVC flight test.
What Drones can you Fly
Legacy Drones
If your drone weighs between 250g and 2kg (like a DJI Mavic 2 or Air) then getting your A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC) will let you fly in residential, commercial, industrial and recreational areas, so long as you stay 50 metres or more horizontally away from 'uninvolved people'.
New C2 Class of Drones
At present you cannot purchase a C2 Class drone in the UK. The CAA currently does not recognise or allow C class drones in the UK.

What Our Students Have to Say
Thank you CDT team! The learning was very clear. I can now fly my DJI Mavic 3 near my home (50m) without having to stay 150m away for the outskirts of the town. A2 CofC is a game changer for my recreational flying making it more accessible and exciting.
Kelvin White
After searching for a course provider, I chose CDTs course and I am so glad I did. It’s a thorough and extensive course and great value for money. I might go on to use my Mavic Air 2 for work, but at the moment the freedom and piece of mind the A2 CofC has given me is wonderful.
Zara Allen
Exceptional course. Mike is an amazing teacher. I completed the online course in 4 hours and Mike did the Zoom exam with me the following day. The best training course I have done in a long time.
Freddy Jones
Very good course, lots of detail. CDT stood out by far as leaders in terms of quality, value for money and training. Mock test questions are similar to the real questions and then the Zoom exam went really well for me.
