WHAT OUR GVC STUDENTS SAY

COLIN WHYTE, GEOFF NEAL ROOFING

“…It was a hugely enjoyable course and always clear and concise through the modules, and the option to learn at my own pace was very beneficial. When it came to the operations manual and the assessment phase it was always clear and communications were prompt and informative. The flight assessment was friendly and was allowed to carry out in a relaxed manner which certainly helped with the nerves I had leading up to it…”

MAREK TOPOLY, MUEHLHAN WIND SERVICE

“Online training course was created in a very professional and effective way. I really enjoyed each module and all the outstanding questions were answered from COPTRZ team immediately. Webinars are informative with lots of great and interesting stuff. The overall exam process from booking till test day is well explained and guided through properly with all the support you need. Very knowledgeable people. I can only recommend COPTRZ.”

DR LAURENT DUVERGÉ, KESTREL WILDLIFE CONSULTANTS

“I have trained with COPTRZ for a number of years, at several of their training venues and on-line, and am now going through the A2CofC and GVC licensing process with them. I’ve always encountered very knowledgeable staff and course instructors, and the course material has always been up to date. The whole process has been made easy by having a very efficient booking system, and I look forward to dealing with them in the future, as I expand my business.”

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GVC AND PFCO?

They are two completely different things. A GVC is the competency requirements and certificates required to apply for an Operational Authorisation. A GVC is much like the NQE certificates candidates received from completing a course to be able to apply for a PfCO.

ARE THERE ANY MORE COSTS I NEED TO KNOW OF?

Yes, public liability insurance will be required to take your flight test as part of the GVC course and for flights once you complete your course when not flown for recreational purposes. There is also an application fee for the Operational Authorisation payable to the CAA.
