Description
Renew your A2 certificate conveniently online - without having to take another exam
The Droniq Academy is an examination center (DE.PStF.035) designated by the German Federal Aviation Authority (LBA) for the acquisition and renewal of the A2 remote pilot certificate. With our e-learning refresher course, you can easily extend your existing A2 certificate by a further 5 years - without an additional examination.
Why refresher training?
In accordance with EU Regulation 2019/947 (UAS.OPEN.070), the remote pilot certificate A2 is valid for 5 years. Within this period, the certificate can be extended by a so-called "revalidation" - without the need for a new examination.
However, if you miss this period, a new acquisition with a full examination ("renewal") is required. With the Droniq refresher training course, you can secure your renewal in good time.
This is how it works:
- Register now - and start your online training immediately
- Complete theory units - at your own pace, conveniently from anywhere
- Receive certificate of attendance - directly after completion
- Automated notification to the LBA - for the issue of your extended A2 certificate
- Certificate by e-mail - issued as usual by the Federal Aviation Office
