The Air League is delighted to announce that Eagle Eye Innovations and RUSTA are sponsoring two places on their PfCO Drone Training Course for two lucky Air League members. On completion of the training and subsequent project work, the recipients will gain an NVQ Level 4 as well as the capability to operate drones professionally upon successful registration with the CAA.

The outcome of this scholarship can be life-changing as was proven by last year’s success stories. Jemma, one of the winners of the scholarship has gone onto secure employment with a multi-national company in their drone delivery service operation and Harry has established his own company. The Air League is immensely proud of both of them and hope that we can Change Lives Through Aviation again with this year’s cohort.

About the Opportunity

We will be holding an assessment day on the 24th August 2020 at the RUSTA HQ in Lincolnshire. The assessment will be outside and you will have a chance to fly a drone as part of this. We are not looking for experienced operators, rather a natural talent, enthusiasm and motivation. The residential course itself will take place in September 2020 and will involve a 3-day state in Lincolnshire with further course work to be undertaken from home.

We will be opening applications on the 20th July 2020. Please click here for further information about this scholarship and to apply.

You will need to be a member of the Air League for this opportunity. To join, visit our shop.
