My unique 3iC commercial online drone training course will help the students to quickly obtain your A2 CofC & GVC qualification and get your drone business off the ground.

Phase 1: CAA Accredited PfCO Drone Pilot Training
Intro - Once payment is made, it takes only a few minutes to log you into your 3iC PfCO online training course. Our comprehensive introduction module will guide you through the process of how to access the course and get the best from it. Our students love the level of content and style of learning.
On average it takes our students around 10 hours to complete this phase. But there is no rush! The students are fully in control and can decide how intensely they want to study. Train at your own Pace in Your Own Place!
Online Theory content - Phase 1 covers the theory syllabus as set by the CAA and is comprised of the eight modules as shown above. We don’t give you piles of reference material to plod through or expect you to take days off from your work. Using interactive voice-over audio & video presentations, this phase of the training course is delivered Online by a highly experienced instructor. To assist you with any note taking, the presentation material is also available for download.
A short test is set at the end of each module which assesses your competency to progress to the next module. You may pause or stop a module at any time and resume at the same place at a later date. The student can also revisit completed modules.
Once the student has completed both the Theory course and the Operations Manual, I will arrange their practical flight assessment which is normally bookable within a few weeks.
It really is a simple process!
Phase 2: Operations Manual, Theory Exam and Practical Flight Assessment
Operation Manual - I provide the student with our excellent Operations Manual template resources to assist you in writing this CAA required document. Your Tutor will guide and support you through the process of shaping the document to suit your operations.
Theory Exam - The venue for the multi-choice exam and assessment is at our own flight facilities which I set up in Carryduff just outside Belfast.
The theory exam is normally set just before the flight assessment and which cuts down on the amount of travel the student have to do.
The Practical Flight Assessment is primarily safety focused and tests a candidate’s flying skill and safe operational ability. This is set against the candidate’s company Operations Manual. and I provide guidance documents so nothing will come as a surprise to you. I will be looking for competent and safe flying – not amazing hand flying skills and will quickly put the student at ease to ensure that they perform to their maximum capability.
The Practical Flight Assessment - The Practical Flight Assessment is primarily safety focused and tests a candidate’s flying skill and safe operational ability. This is set against the candidate’s company Operations Manual. I provide the student with close support leading up to the assessment, and provide guidance documents so nothing will come as a surprise to them.
Summary - Since Robert Dobbin qualified as a Drone Pilot Instructor on 1st October 2018, my business has taken off (excuse the pun) I have since gained a DJI Authorised Dealership to sell drones in Northern Ireland. over 65 Drone Pilot have qualified, including a special student who is paralysed from the neck down. I have also just invested in a DJI flight Simulator, this DJI Flight Simulator sets a new standard for drone pilot training, paving a new path for the next generation of drone pilots.
