Drone Pilot Training Academy Belfast

I have just completed my Pfco with Robert and 3iC. Upon meeting Robert at the Ivanhoe Hotel I was immediately put at ease with his friendly and professional manner. After finishing (and passing!) the theory section we moved the short distance to his farm to carry out the practical assessment. Throughout the day Robert was easy going and very helpful, at no point did I feel rushed or under pressure.I am a wheelchair user and was accommodated at every turn from my initial enquires, right through to sending my documents off to the CAA.Big thanks to Robert Dobbin of Drone Pilot Training Academy and to 3iC who went above and beyond at every step More...

Robert was really helpful throughout the course and easy to get speaking to on the phone if i had any problems at all. On the day of the test he was very encouraging and i didn't feel rushed in anyway at all.

On Sat 3rd August after several weeks intense study I attended my final theory exams, along with my planning and practical flight Assessments under the tutorial direction of Robert Dobbin of Drone Pilot Training Academy. Two weeks prior I completed my ground study theory, via an Online study platform, provided by 3IC. My Assessment day was then under the guidance of Robert Dobbin, which allowed me to complete my training in Northern Ireland negating a trip to the UK mainland.Although a little anxious prior, on arrival I was met by Robert who immediately put me at ease with his very friendly and warming demeanor. We had previously spoken several times on the phone and on each call, I was offered plenty of advice and was given the help required. It was easy to identifiable that Robert's passion is very much all things Drone..During the assessment Robert continued to make me feel at ease as we worked through the Assessment criteria. Robert kept things moving nicely and although blighted a little by several unforecasted showers, I was able to complete everything required to achieve an accreditation for a PfCO.It is worth noting that throughout, although the weather had prolonged the day, Robert was extremely patient and instead of rushing things at any point, took the weather in his stride and instead used the time to discuss in detail a number of scenarios that I have no doubt will stand me in good stead in the future. Robert allowed me the atmosphere in which to quickly gain confidence during the Assessment. I've learnt a lot and fully enjoyed the experience and I have no hesitation in recommending him to other users.Thank you Robert for your guidance, hopefully we will be in touch in the future.

Today was the day I did my flying exam and it was an exciting experience. Our instructor, Robert Dobbin, was a very approachable and understanding guy so we were all content and comfortable knowing that he would be willing to help us. In return, he thanked us for being a part of the exam.The way the theory test was done was good, although I preferred it would be done electronically, via computer. Still, the questions given were simple yet still challenging to answer.The flying exam was quite challenging but our instructor, Robert, was still able to aid us professionally and was always there to assure us.Overall, it was a great experience and Robert is a fantastic instructor.I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in drone flying or photography. It's worth the experience. More...

Robert is a gentleman and went way beyond the call of duty to facilitate our exam. We were all made to feel extremely welcome and he’s great at easing the nerves and explaining things. He also includes many extras that go beyond the scope of the exam. Highly recommended More...

I have just completed my drone training followed by a written and practical test. The process is as fast (or slow) as required, i was not ever put under pressure to complete the on-line training. Robert provided an excellent level of support throughout and was flexible to suit our requirements.Robert is personable and easy to deal with, I enjoyed the experience and learnt a great deal which has enabled me to be as well prepared as possible before deploying my drone.

Excellent course. Mainly online but Robert there to assist whenever needed. You can work at your own pace and you are fully supported with well prepared course material. I had an aim to complete the course quickly and was able to do so without problem even with my very hectic travel life. More...

Robert is great to work with, knowledgable and backed up by the vast expertise and experience of 3ic. The online course is well done and you can do it in your own time (within reason) with Robert and the rest of 3ic on hand for any questions. The Assessment itself is kept relaxed, but making sure you're able to do everything safely, as per what was learned in the online course.Highly recommended to anyone seeking to get CAA aerial permission.

This has been an amazing challenge for myself but with the supprt and training from Robert this has made the experience more enjoyable and less stressful, Robert has a fantasic teaching ethic and even with the most nerves students he sets you at ease and delivers a fantasic training course.

Excellent Course from start to finish, done the online modules at my own pace online.When I completed it, I was put in contact with my flight assessor Robert who was extremely helpful with any queries I had. Met Robert on the day of my assessment at a local hotel where he had met me in reception and took me to a private room where I done my theory test, Once passed the theory I was taken to the site where I had to do my flight assessment. Robert put me completely at ease and had a cordoned off area already set up upon our arrival.Once that was completed I was told what would happen next ( applying to CAA ) I couldn’t recommend this course highly enough More...
