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!

VLOS Course week beginning 14th October 2024.

I was enrolled on a visual line of sight course with Heliguy, week beginning 14th October 2024 (work related) and was immediately impressed with how developed the company was.
I have little to no experience with drones and what organisations are out there teaching piloting therefore was impressed to see Heliguy so well equipped and how professional they came across.

The course itself was interesting and I learned a lot, I would like to note that the power point content was a struggle to get through and feel future courses would benefit more with practical sessions between presentations e.g. setting up and dismantling the drone, going through its features or even generating a notam or going through a flying session and what is required.

The trainers were excellent and very approachable. I spent the majority of my week with Lois who was a fantastic teacher with an excellent teaching style and was very positive towards everyone and their abilities. This I found was particularly good as anyone who is completely new to the drone world would feel right at ease with Lois who encouraged everyone and made the week fun.

Overall 4 stars to Heliguy the only criticism being the amount of powerpoint input (although understandable).

Pre-assessment instruction

Bradley was an excellent instructor. I had a days worth of tuition in the run up to my assessment and his insight and instruction was spot on. Very knowledgeable and full of hints and tips to improve my flying and successfully pass the final assessment - which I did. Thanks a lot to Heliguy and especially Bradley. 5 star

The training course was great

The training course was great. Brandon and Lois were very helpful and informative. Our group was split and I had Lois as my instructor and she was amazing. Really supportive and was able to keep us calm. We had lots of laughs along the way!

Heliguy GVC course…

Just did the GVC course with Heliguy having never flown a drone previously. Great initial communication for the theory e-learning and on attending the practical training Tom gave a great introduction as to what to expect, and top marks to Chris who carried out the actual training and explained everything in a friendly and methodical manner. Highly recommended!

Fly high with Heliguy

Highly recommended Heliguy for training. It has been a long time for me doing anything like this, but the layout online and the support you get online from the whole team is fantastic. It made the whole process run so smoothly. Book with confidence through Heliguy and you won't regret it.

Very professional and knowledgeable

Great depth of knowledge with plenty of online resources.
Our trainer Lois was very informative and taught in a manner that was easy to understand.
She tailored the session to the gaps in our knowledge/ skills.
