Do I need any kind of insurance before I start a drone training course?
No - Heliguy offer free insurance for your practical flight assessment (for the GVC course) through their partners at Coverdrone and the A2 CofC does not require a practical flight assessment.
However, candidates must have EC785/2004 compliant insurance to operate in a commercial capacity once training is complete.
