Ofqual 5 Award for Chief Drone Pilots

Level up your experience and knowledge with OFQUAL 5 for Chief Pilots

OFQUAL 5 is designed to give operators the skills and confidence to take on multi-million pound, large UAV projects that involve more than one pilot.

We designed this course based on our experience of running large scale drone operations to the value of £67 million.  It covers everything we wish we knew at the time to prevent us from making costly mistakes.  We've now packaged up that learning into a course that is regulated by an independent body so you can be certain of teaching excellence and course quality.

Learning outcomes

The aim of this course is to give you the skills, knowledge and confidence to take on large UAV projects.  This isn't about your skills as a pilot, this is about levelling up your project management skills to ensure you have everything covered.
