DRONIQ ACADEMY

The drone driver's license is a required certificate for the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) above certain weight classes or in special scenarios. There are different classes of drone license, with the A1/A3 and A2 licenses being the most common.

Further information on the various drone operator licenses can be found here.

Since 01 January 2021, new drone rules have been in force across Europe, which are governed by Regulations (EU) 2019/947 and 2019/945. They harmonize the requirements for drone flight in the individual member states. In this context, drone pilots must acquire the certificate of proficiency in subcategory A1/A3 or the EU remote pilot certificate A2.

The online training course for the A2 drone pilot's license from Droniq provides you with optimal support in preparing to obtain the EU Remote Pilot Certificate A2. You can work through the course content and consolidate your knowledge regardless of time and place. E-learning is already included in our A2 drone license packages.

After you have purchased the relevant package for the drone license in our store, you will receive the access data for the Droniq Academy in an email. Here you can work through the course content in your own time and at your own pace. Once you have worked through all the learning content of the drone pilot's license, you can test your knowledge yourself using sample questions from the topics relevant to the exam.

As soon as you feel ready for the A2 remote pilot certificate exam, Droniq currently offers exams for the drone license as a face-to-face exam at the company headquarters in Frankfurt and at the Cottbus-Neuhausen, Flensburg, Görlitz, Hamburg, Kamenz and Mönchengladbach (airfield) sites.

As a rule, there is one examination date per location at least once a month. You can find our current exam dates here.

Since the end of June, we have also been offering online exams for the A2 drone license.

All documents must be submitted by the day of the drone driver's license test at the latest, otherwise we will unfortunately not be able to admit you to the test.
