New A2 CofC & GVC Drone Pilot Training Courses Available Now! across Ireland

The #A2CofC Drone Course is a new course for 2021. It has been introduced by the CAA to meet the drone pilot competence requirements of the EASA Open Category. We have already started delivering the A2 CofC course but the regulations that allow its use don’t come into effect until Jan 1st 2021. The #A2CofC allows remote pilots to operate under the A2 and A1 Transitional subcategories of the Open category, granting you the right to operate larger drones closer to uninvolved people.

The A2 CofC Course consists of 4 theory modules. There is no formal practical requirement, but you are required to self-declare your experience. Once you have your A2 CofC it allows you to operate appropriate drones under the A2 and A1 Transitional subcategories of the EASA Open Category. These categories become active on 1st Jan 2021 and your A2 CofC is valid for 5 years from the point of issue.
