heliguy™ provides additional training provision to help operators scale their drone programmes.
This includes an OSC (Operating Safety Case) consultancy for enhanced operational permissions, and the Drone Assistive Programme to conduct complex operations like industrial inspections.
The Drone Assistive Programme, our hybrid industry-specific training model, delivers on-site mentorship to ensure your pilots can operate safely and competently during complex operations, such as flare stack inspections.
Also features task-focused and application-specific classroom learning, such as use of optical and thermal sensors, mapping/surveying principles, data capture/analysis, and emergency services/crisis management.
Designed for Open Category operations, this is an ideal entry level drone training course.
Can be used for commercial or recreational flights with drones such as the Mavic 2 Series.
Drone training course for Specific Category operations, suited to enterprise drone operations with aircraft such as the M300 RTK and Inspire 2.
Can be taken as a stand-alone entry point course or following the A2 CofC as a business/individual scales. Or sit both together with the combined course.
Onsite industry-specific training beyond the GVC to help in-house drone programmes develop capability to conduct critical asset inspections or emergency services operations, safely and competently.
Also features training such as mapping/surveying principles, data capture/analysis, and emergency services/crisis management.
The heliguy™ in-house OSC consultancy helps UAS operators secure special permissions to operate outside standard permissions for niche jobs: Perfect for growing the capability of a drone programme and gaining competitive edge.
The Operations Manual is an important document and needs to be updated to reflect legislation or operational changes. heliguy™ provides a renewal service to keep your manual compliant and enhance operational capability, where possible.
The heliguy™ Continuing Professional Development programme, for enterprise organisations and the emergency services, helps experienced pilots maintain and enhance operational standards and compliance.
Regulated Qualification Programme, including Level 5 certificate for Commercial Drone Chief Pilots. Ideal for those who wish to forge a lengthy and progessive career in the UAS industry.
"The Heliguy-delivered training was fantastic. I can't recommend them enough.
Two of our officers were deployed with the drone less than 48 hours after training, filling a gap in operational capability in the process. That they had the confidence and ability to deploy so quickly after passing was due to Heliguy. If our officers had not done the course, there would not have been drone cover over that period. Having a greater number of officers trained around the Force gives us 24/7 drone capability."
