This year, we are offering 10 Scholarships to provide individuals with an opportunity to explore the career pathway options within the Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) sector and gain a Class A2 C of C qualification, the perfect starting qualification for a career in the industry. The Scholarships will take place with Eagle Eye Innovations in Lincolnshire in August, with accommodation provided.

This is a one-day course that culminates in an examination. This course gives you the extra knowledge required by the CAA to operate in the A2 category. Three modules will be taught covering:
