Learn how to fly drones

A subsidised course is now available to students who wish to fly drones.

The Remote Pilot Certificate SUAS (RPCS) course, which is Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approved, leads to Permission for Commercial Operations status – providing commercial drone pilots with the skills and qualification to operate safely and legally in UK airspace.

The two and a half day course includes a theoretical overview of air law, principles of flight and insights into meteorology as well as covering emergency procedures. The University currently has three different types of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAV) suitable for both interior and exterior usage, complete with high definition cameras designed to capture video and still images, which are used for training.

The course is delivered at the University’s Science Park, Wolverhampton, Business Solutions Centre. The subsidised course price for students is £700 + VAT, which includes 4 extra days of training and includes refreshments. For more information contact: A.Nicholas2@wlv.ac.uk.
