Description

Renew your STS remote pilot certificate conveniently online - without having to take the test again

The Droniq Academy is an examination center (DE.PStF.035) designated by the German Federal Aviation Office (LBA) for the acquisition and renewal of remote pilot certificates in accordance with EU regulations. With our e-learning refresher training, you can extend your existing STS certificate easily, legally compliant and without an additional examination - for a further 5 years.

Why STS refresher training?

In accordance with EU Implementing Regulation 2019/947, the STS remote pilot certificate is valid for 5 years. Within this period, it can be extended as part of a so-called "revalidation" - without a new examination.

However, if the validity period is exceeded, a complete "renewal" with a new examination is required. With our STS refresher training, you can extend your certificate in good time and without stress.

This is how it works:

  1. Register now - and start online training straight away
  2. Work on learning content flexibly - at your own pace, regardless of location
  3. Receive certificate of attendance - immediately after completion
  4. Direct notification to the LBA - for a legally compliant extension
  5. Certificate by e-mail - as usual from the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt
