Excellent training
Over the training, I felt I got a full understanding of the necessary rules and regulations when it comes to flying my drone for work purposes. The people on my course were from various industries and professions, and I believe the training covered every possible need to be flying a drone. The materials provided were also excellent, and really helped with my revision.

I trained with them about 8 years ago to get my PFCO and they have been an invaluable help through my drone career . Helping me with renewal of my yearly certificates and answering questions regarding the drone world. They are very accessible and professional...and incredibly knowledgeable about the ever changing drone world!
They are always there for you!
All the staff are always really helpful. They respond very quickly, and they are the kind of people and company you want for training and assistance with your drone operations. You can trust in them!

Really helpful and easy process with Global Drone Training :)
A five star service!
I wasn't looking forward to the process of renewing our Operational Authorisation and heard stories of how complicated it was and the problems we could face. Then along comes Global Drone Training to hold our hand and give gentle but clear advice at each stage of the application. Excellent communications from the start, with emails and phone calls being answered promptly meant the file of data, in the correct format, was put together with little fuss and sent off to the CAA for review and a decision. The proof of the effectiveness of GDT in steering us through the application was the approval returned by the CAA within 48hrs. What a brilliant outcome and thank you to all at Global Drone Training!
Considering the course was being taught…
Considering the course was being taught online through zoom, was detailed, constructive with very useful information. The Global Drone Training Team throughout the training and exam were helpful and had vast knowledge of piloting drone.
GVC Conversion
Was very apprehensive about the whole process of updating/conversion process, (GVC) Global drone training made this a straightforward and pain free as possible, very knowledgeable and professional organisation. A great team of people, thank you
Great service
Once again, fantastic service from the crew at Global Drone Training. Would highly recommend GDT for any courses drone related.
Great courses and on going help.
I have done a couple of courses with Global Drone Training and have been touch for advice on a number of occasions; every experience has been great. The repsonse quick, the advice spot on and they have done a lot to make the tedium of admin and regulation evaporate.
Excellent instructor knowledge and…GVC Conversion course
Excellent instructor knowledge and assistance in all aspects of the GVC conversion course.
Consistently great training from people…
Consistently great training from people who know the industry inside out and are capable of sharing that knowledge with clients. I've been part of their training programmes for 5 years and each session brings new knowledge and opportunity for discussion around issues in our industry. If you want training or physical drone/other operations, GDT are the ones you want
GVC A2 C of C
I was absolutely delighted to receive my GVC and A2 C of C (conversion course) qualification today. This is the second course I've undertaken with Global Drone Training and once again it was an absolutely brilliant 5 star experience. The course content is delivered in a really engaging and lively way with supporting materials in both physical and electronic format to consolidate your learning. The thing that really sets this company apart however it what happens after your course-the support both through the website and through the GDT team is nothing short of brilliant and makes what could a stressful process streamlined and stress free. For that reason I've remained a pro member with them ever since my first course-I simply cannot imagine doing this job without their support. I could not recommend them highly enough and will always continue to use them as the world of drones evolves and new qualifications become available.
Essential for a drone pilot
Essential for a drone pilot. They really make all the paperwork and qualifications a breeze and even remind numbnuts here when he's forgotten an important date is coming up. Training courses are by enthusiastic and engaging instructors who make hours of looking at charts actually quite interesting and entertaining
Would probably give up commercial flying without their help!
GVC conversion course 5/5 service as always from Global Drone Training.
As per usual all dealings and interactions with Global Drone Training was professional, clear & concise. Jonathans training was paced well, relevant and above all, understandable. Alex then invigilated the exam and that was also very professional, clear and he made the whole process very easy to understand.
Thanks as always guys.

I highly recommend using Global Drone Training for you CAA renewal. They make the process easy each year with expert support on hand.
Fantastic company thoroughly recommend
Global Drone Training are brilliant! They always bend over backwards to be helpful and prompt at returning enquiries. Their training instructors are kind, diligent and keen to promote the safest flying standards. The assistance in completing correct compliance documents to the CAA is invaluable and a very efficient process. Other companies could learn a lot from GDT on how to deliver fantastic customer service.
Excellent Service
Plenty of information and informed advice. Very personal, efficient and prompt replies to enquiries. An excellent point of contact for any drone operator.
