Update to A2 CofC, A2 CofC Renewal & A2/GVC Combined Courses

by Jack Sharp -

Just a quick Update to let you know that some regulations affecting the A2 CofC, A2 CofC Renewal, and the A2/GVC Combined course are changing.

Because of this, you’ll start to notice updates to the course content within the LMS over a period of time. These changes are being rolled out gradually to make sure everything stays fully compliant while keeping your learning experience smooth and up to date.

I’ve attached The Unmanned Aircraft (Amendment) Regulations 2025 that takes effect from the 1st of January 2026 for you to have a look through during this transition period. It’s a useful reference and will help explain what is being changed, and why some of the updates are being made.

Our training team is managing these changes behind the scenes and is always on hand if you need support.If you’ve got any questions or concerns, just give the Training Team a shout via:

We’re here to help and happy to talk things through.
