In very safe hands!
Booked up the "Just Fly! Drone Lesson" and received a prompt phone call to discuss my requirements plus a weather check-in the day before.
The session itself was excellent, I thoroughly enjoyed my time and would highly recommend Karim and the company.

Thanks Stuart. It was a great day. Let us know how you get on with your new drone!
Had a fantastic and very enjoyable training session
Had a fantastic and very enjoyable couple of hours with Karim from Vortex Drone Training. A really nice guy, and very thorough with all the training, explaining not only all aspects of flight, but also lots of information on camera settings etc. I would recommend Karim to anyone that is thinking of getting a drone, and well worth the training fee. Thanks again Karim, hope we can keep in touch and maybe see you flying somewhere around.

65+ DRONE FLYING
On a chilly day in Oxford we met up with Karim for a drone session. We had a pre-flight briefing explaining, safety, controls, possible issues and the importance of ATT flying. We then took to the skies, maneuvering a dji drone around a preset obstacle course. I'm 65+ and was aprehshive about flying my mavic mini, but in no time at all, I was confidently and safely not only flying a drone but taking videos! We had an opportunity to fly bigger drones, like the phantom; how impressive is that? We, that's my daughter and I, really enjoyed the session. Now I cant wait to go out and fly my drone. Thanks

Thanks so much for the review. I had a great day with you both. I hope you guys are out enjoying the drone flying now!
Best way to get started
A really good hands-on training to get you started with flying a drone (both theory and practice). I came with almost no experience and now I have the knowledge about how to get started and the next steps to fly on my own.
