The EuroUSC website is back up but with all UK training slots removed. Contact details remain in the UK, and the name continues to trade in several European countries.

There are several claims circulating in forums that EuroUSC continued to take payments after the UK CAA withdrew their permission to train on December 23rd, 2016.

EuroUSC made many bold claims and leveraged its early mover advantage in the UK to the hilt in the rest of Europe.

A UK industry insider speaking under condition of anonymity had this to say earlier today:

“It is a classic example of how evolution weeds out the weakest.  EuroUSC hasn’t been relevant for a few years now and refused to change their model in a breathtakingly arrogant way.  They assumed that, because they were first (ish) they would lead the way and naturally dictate how the sector would develop.  And then when new qualified entities came into the sector and changed the model they refused to adapt.  It’s a great case study on how not to do business”

Are the rest of the EuroUSC’s companies agile enough to compete?

Just how detached are these companies from EuroUSC UK?

Both the UAV Academy and UAVAir have created schemes to help former EuroUSC students stuck in limbo.
