Best Company Around !!!!

Some courses I've done,I find the training and lessons are so quick that you don't get time to absorb some of the information, with UAV8 they work around you more one on one, I live in Manchester and there's courses here but since 2019 I've used UAV8 and will continue to use them,when you complete the course if you have any problems or questions they are allways there to support and help you. I allways will recommend them to guys I know getting out of the Military or my Civilian mates.
I've just passed my GVC , I'd like to thank Baz and the team for all the help and support they gave me.
I'll be back in 2024 for my Thermal Course.

Many Thanks ,

Just passed my A2 CofC!

Just passed my A2 CofC after an interactive, interesting and insightful morning of lessons with UAV8. The learning sections were easy to understand with frequent points of interaction to make sure things are really sticking, and the guidance through the exam process was easy to understand and simple. To go from very little knowledge to competently passing A2 CofC is testament to the chaps at UAV8 and I’ll be recommending them from here on out.

Fantastic!

I made several enquiries before booking my course, all aspects of my queries were answered, the team here are very knowledgeable and helpful.

On the day of my course, Nick and Baz were the tutors, great guys, engaging and friendly. A wealth of experience and knowledge was on clear display, their delivery was fantastic and you can be assured of a pass after being educated by these guys.

After qualifying, they also offer follow up advice and support for free should you have any queries or concerns.

Top provider, cannot recommend enough!

Excellent Course

A very good course delivered in a friendly and erudite manner by highly experienced tutors. I'm a new drone owner with not a huge amount of flying time, and the course has given me both the resources and confidence to know that I am flying safely. I thought that the course was very good value for money and I would highly recommend UAV8 to anyone interested in flying drones. Thanks to Baz and Nick.

As always the training provided by UAV8 (Baz and Russ) was to a very high standard, professional but conducted in way to make you feel very relaxed and comfortable which in turn helps when doing the examination.
UAV8 are extremely accommodating and always provide the courses to suit our needs. Their knowledge of the aviation industry is second to none which reinforces the course content.
We would highly recommend UAV8 for any training that they provide.
