@JeffRUK do get your operator ID which is displayed on the drone and also its worthwhile doing the Flyer ID course on the CAA website that is free and last for 5 years
as this is a world wide forum some of the info such as part 107 do not apply to flying a drone in the UK
having extra qualifications such as the
A2 C of C, or the GVC ,will not unfortunately make you a better drone flyer but they do give you a good insight into the legality ,and understanding of airspace use,and are a good idea if you want to fly other than as a hobbyist
its a good idea to join one of the associations such as the BMFA or FPV UK as you will get third party liability insurance as part of the membership package
start off slowly find a large open area away from people if possible and just stay in Cine mode and fly forwards stop then go left or right stop come back stop then fly back sideways till you get back to where you set off from ,all the while with the camera facing away from you this is called flying squares practice that movement for say 10 times
then from the start position this time yaw (rotate) the drone so the camera is facing you ,and do the same thing 10 times but this time when you move the control sticks you will notice that the drone moves in the opposite direction
this is the hardest part to master but over time it becomes second nature during these moves keep the drone at about 4ft high and only use the right stick i know it sounds very boring and repetitive ,but that how over time you learn, then after you are comfortable with what the drone is going to do when you move the sticks ,in relation to its direction you can begin to combine the right stick and left stick to fly a circle and eventually you can fly figure of eights combining all the the three stick movements ,it just takes time to master it , good luck .its a lot easier to do than it is to write down
