PfCO (NQE) to GVC Conversion Course
PfCO (NQE) to GVC Conversion Course
Held your CAA Permissions in the past, but let them lapse?
Want to get back up and running quickly and easily?
We've got you covered!
With recent changes to the CAA Drone Regulations in the UK, it's now a requirement for anyone looking to operate drones in the Specific Category, to hold their General Visual Line of Sight Certificate... Otherwise known as the 'GVC'.
This means that EVERYONE looking to operate drones between 0 and 25kgs under an Operational Authorisation, now need to 'upgrade' their qualifications to the UK CAA GVC.
This process normally involves 3 main components:
- Theory Learning & Exam
- Practical Flight Test
- A new CAA Operations Manual
However, we believe that if you have the relevant experience, then you shouldn't have to waste your time going through all these steps again... We worked with the UK CAA, and came up with a simple pathway for operators with previous experience to 'fast-track' their return to flying. So, if you hit some simple criteria, shown below, you can save time and money by only having to complete the Theory Refresher Course and your online Thoery Exam.
We take care of your Operations Manual update, and sign-off on your Flight Test exemption.
A quick, simple and easy route to getting back in the game safely and efficiently!

Course Overview:
If you already have a current CAA OA (formerly PfCO) and an NQE Recommendation Certificate, this course offers an option to convert your NQE Recommendation Certificate over to a General Visual Line of Sight Certificate. This will allow you to continue operating under a PDRA01 Operational Authorisation (OA) issued by the CAA
Eligibility:
To be eligible to enter the GVC Conversion Course, you must:
✅ Have held a CAA PfCO or Operational Authorisation in the past
✅ Have logged 2 Hours of Drone Flying in the 3 months before completing your GVC Conversion Course Theory Examination
Be able to provide copies of:
- ⭐Your original Theory and Practical Training Certificates from your original Training Provider
- ⭐A copy of your logbook showing 2 hours flying in the last 3 months, and;
- ⭐A copy of your previously held CAA permissions (PfCO or OA)
If you're not able to 'tick all the requirements', then you'll need to complete the full GVC Course which you can find HERE.
The GVC Conversion Course Includes the following:
- Video-based E-Learning of GVC syllabus
- Remote Online Theory Examination
- Flight Examination Exemption (submission of evidence required)
- Operations Manual Update to CAA PDRA-01 Standards

Exemption from the Practical Flight Test:
To be exempt from the Flight Examination, you must meet specific criteria.
