Great GVC course provided by Heliguys' Andrew, facilitate by Lois. Online training was well set out and could be completed at your own pace. Ample time with an instructor was provided for theory based questions and review.
The practical training was excellent. Good amounts of flying time but without any pressure. Thorough explanation was provide for all drills and exercises.
A really useful few days providing essential training for all drone pilots.

Operations Manual Update

I ordered an update of my operations manual. Something I've done before at various other companies. Thought I'd try Heliguy this time around but it was not a quick or straightforward service.
It felt like I was re-writing my ops manual when all I wanted was a quick update.

Reply from heliguy™

Hi Navinder, thanks for your feedback. We’ve looked into your case and can see you were using an outdated UAVHub template. Our service provides the most recent CAA-compliant PDRA01 template, ensuring your operations remain future-proof. We understand this differed from your previous documents, but our team explained the changes and reviewed your manual, which was approved on our end.

Regarding the Flight Reference Card (FRC), we no longer support older aircraft like the Inspire 1, as they’re no longer widely maintained. We aim to provide the most relevant and up-to-date tools, and while our system requires some user input, it’s built around current CAA requirements.

We’re always here to help, and we're glad the conversation ended positively.

the GOTO for Drones!

I never write reviews but this company certainly deserves it. top-quality service I received from Richard in my recent transaction but HeliGuy as a whole from previous transactions - faultless from start to finish!

Everything arrived in a timely manner, and I’m genuinely excited to get started with it.

Thanks again for making the whole process so smooth — really appreciate it.

Excellence provided from start to finish

Recently successfully completed my drone training with Heliguy. The theory aspect of the training is challenging at times, however with a polished online modular structure, dedicated support team of experts on hand, this assures clear delivery of course whenever called upon. This is both invaluable and reassuring credit to the training provided
The practical assessment is delivered again in a professional and supportive way. Thanks to Jack for making what is inherently a stressful test situation less so. With positive and fair assessment of any areas that can be worked on upon completion of the flight.
Thoroughly recommend Heliguy as the way in to certified drone flight safety.

Perfect drone training

I was given the exact drone training relevant for my work by Brad, who is credit to Heliguy brand. The environment where the training was carried out was perfect. I will be recommending to colleagues.

Outstanding support from start to finish!

Heliguy were absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

I ordered the A2cofc and GVC combined course and every step of the way they were incredibly supportive. The online service allowed me to learn in my own time instead of taking time off work and the free resits made my exams as well as my learning comfortable and stress free. Luckily I passed both first time but that safety net was great.

The online videos are clear and concise and if there was anything I didn't understand, they were fast to respond and informative on the live chat or just a phone call away. The staff were very friendly and helpful whenever you needed them. I often thought I was bothering them too much but they always reassured me that they were more than happy to help.

I was nervous ahead of my practical GVC exam, but Lois was brilliant. She reassured me and made the experience enjoyable and a lot less stressful that I expected while maintaining the standards of the exam.

The only small negative of the course was that I had to complete 2 hours of flying before my exam, and while it was very helpful for me to practice manoeuvres and emergency procedures, it was a bit of a pain finding places to legally fly away from the general public during dry days. This is something I knew going in so I can't really complain about it and it's certainly not a reason to not take this course.

All in all, I can't thank the team at Heliguy enough and when you factor it the cost of the course compared to it's competitors, it's a no brainer.

The Ideal Drone Course

Just completed my GVC and I have to say this was one of the best structured courses I have seen. Great LMS and great communication with the support where it is needed and regular updates. Everyone on the team are very friendly and I found the process very smooth. Well worth it!

Heliguy Drone Training

I recently completed my GVC drone course with Heliguy and would highly recommend this course. Although it was challenging at times, the training staff were helpful with their guidance and were always on hand to answer any queries. Brad was very calming and assuring on the day of the practical assessment which helped with any nerves. Overall, I think this course is excellent in preparing for ‘real life’ drone flying and would like to thank the full team for their help.

A massive thank you to all the team at Heliguy.

Even prior to the course commencing, all communication and joining instruction was professional and extremely helpful.
Our instructors, Odysseus and Tom, were both fantastic, with knowledge and experience that is second to none. They both took the time to explain every aspect of the course and answered all of my (many) questions.
I look forward to working with Heliguy again in the future.

Excellent Drone Hire Service

Excellent Drone Hire Service

I recently hired drone equipment from Heliguy, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. Their team was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, providing expert advice to ensure I got the right gear for my needs. They took the time to answer my questions and made the whole process smooth and stress-free.

One of the standout aspects was their efficient next-day delivery. The drone arrived on time, well-packaged, and in excellent condition. Everything was included to get me up and running straight away. What really impressed me was the attention to detail – Heliguy provided all the necessary return packaging, making it incredibly easy to send the drone back once I was finished.

The overall hiring process was seamless, with clear instructions and no hidden surprises. Their customer service team was also on hand for any queries, which added an extra layer of confidence in using their service.

Whether you're a professional drone operator or just need equipment for a specific project, I would highly recommend Heliguy. Their expertise, reliability, and customer-focused approach make them a top choice for drone hire in the UK. I’ll definitely be using them again in the future.

A2/GVC

The entire process of obtaining the A2/GVC certificate was great. The amount of information in the online training course was fantastic and delivered well and Faye was lovely and calming during the online test. When it came to doing the practical GVC test, Odysseus put us at ease and made the experience enjoyable rather than nerve racking. Communication from Heliguy was fast and helpful whenever needed. 10/10.

Practical Drone Assessment

Tom was my assessor on the occasion I had passed my practical exam. He made me feel so relaxed and at ease during the whole process. He informed me on the minors I had obtained but the way he presented this was very professional and I didn't feel criticised at all. He was relatable and understanding and overall I believed I passed due to being so relaxed.

Highly recommend

I just finished my GVC course with Heliguy. The learning materials are thorough, and the training staff are very helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive with queries. I was given thorough assessment feedback.
I would recommend as a drone training provider.

VLOS Course

Would just like to say a big thank you to both Lois and Brandon for delivering a great VLOS course.

Both were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and patient - important as I had no prior drone experience. I was in Lois' group the majority of the time so would just like to mention how good of a teacher she was, and was always positive throughout which was a big help.

Thank you!
