Avtrain
About the project:
Avtrain, one of Europe’s leading drone training and certification organisations, takes first place in the 'Training and Certification' category. Their mission is to encourage prolific drone operations and keep the skies safe through training and certification. They use innovation in certification through planned simulated VR/AI methods which are futuristic yet realistic. They operate on the principle of 3Ds – if it is Dull, Dirty of Dangerous then a drone should be doing it. Avtrain holds an approval as Recognised Entity issued by the IAA for the grant of EASA Open A2 and Specific Category Authorisations, Declarations & Light UAS operator Certificate.
What Airwards Judges said:
A fantastic business and an exemplary programme of training and safety that shows great responsibility both within the industry and to the public at large. All uses of drones rely totally on the very highest of standards in the training of pilots and their awareness of all the safety considerations. So this project is just what the industry needs while it goes through an exponential growth phase. Avtrain are exceptional at what they do, combining innovation, access and online learning through simulation. “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” This is how we can change the world – training, training and more training!
