The Examination is multiple-choice and it will be invigilated by an Examiner throughout. A Desktop or Laptop will be required to take the examination. You will not be able to take the examination using a Tablet device such as an iPad.
Essential Equipment Required for Examination:
- Desktop or Laptop

How do Flight Assessments Work?
When you have completed your Theory Exam, you simply need to book your Practical Examination (Operational Evaluation) at the Oxfordshire or North-Staffordshire Training Field site – this will take up to 2 hours to complete. You will be required to submit all of your planning paperwork digitally and your examiner will be required to stay at least 2-metres away from you during the examination.
The Operations Manual
The final part of the ICARUS GVC drone course is focused on the Operations Manual. You’ll be sent a list of questions to complete detailing your planned operations, the answers to these questions are then used to create an operations manual bespoke unique to you – The manual is usually delivered within 5 working days.
