Absolutely superb, extremely helpful, professional and everything went very smoothly. First time pass which when considering I'm extremely stressed and nervous during tests, only went to prove how good these guys are. Thank you AV8!!

A2 CofC
Excellent straightforward A2 CofC course, passed on the first attempt after finishing the course material provided fully online. Examination/certification done with an external Proctor service which seemed very professional during the exam.

Great online course
Great online course, very well structured ( A2 CofC) with relevant content and good practice questions. Final exam taken with proctorU overseeing could have done with more explanation and took over an hour to get correct program and extensions set up, but once established suitable help was available.

The perfect choice for drone training!
I could not be more pleased that I chose AV8 Flight School to do my A2 drone training.
The courses were so well thought through, and the example questions at the end of each section perfectly prepared me for the exam. So much so that it only took me a day to do the course, and I took the test the next day and managed to get 29/30 questions correct.

Great learning environment
Great learning environment and a well thought out course. Trickiest part was the weather section although I can see a basic understand of the Met situation is beneficial.
The exams itself was monitored by a remote invigilator from a third party service - while this was fine it does involve an element of trust as you must allow full access to your device (sharing of screen, control of mouse, etc) like you’d allow for remote tech support. Security settings were changed on my computer and while I understand this is to make sure there was no cheating perhaps a little more transparency here would be good.

His David, thanks very much for taking the time to write a review and for your feedback on our virtual exam proctoring. We're going to update the exam prep section to include a greater degree of clarity on the security settings you mentioned. Rest assured that the end-to-end process is fully GDPR compliant, but I appreciate this might not have been clear when you went through the exam. Happy flying!
