Attended GVC course given by Freddie Dresner. Very good class presentation and technique - good pace with plenty of revision sessions at end of modules, end of day and start of 2nd day. Instructions for practical flight assessment was clear and straightforward. Freddie’s teaching manner put people at ease. The location of the course at Highfield Park was very good - good class room, good lunches and easily location.

Coptrz Experience
Coptrz Pilot: Freddie
(University of Liverpool reviewer).
Very impressed with the experience. The in person theory tutoring was extremely useful and was taught efficiently. Freddie was very good at explaining concepts and was articulate about doing so - using a lot of his real-life stories and experiences also kept it engaging.
I felt very prepared for both the theory test and practical flight and passed both with no issues. I would look forward to interacting with Coptrz again.

GVC FAB
Went on the face to face gvc course taught by Freddie. He made even the boring parts interesting and was really helpful getting me through the theory to passing my practical test. Doing the online material gave a great head start but the in person course was better for learning.
