EASA exam portals
Where to take the A1/A3 drone exam in Europe
Use this directory to find the official A1/A3 training and exam entry point for each EASA state. EASA lists 27 EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland in its drone NAA directory.
One A1/A3 proof is portable, local airspace checks are not
EASA says remote pilots must use training from a recognised aviation authority, and the resulting remote pilot competency certificate is valid for 5 years. Latvia's CAA also states that its A1/A3 proof is recognised across the European Union. Recognition does not replace local UAS geographical zones, insurance rules, airport restrictions, or national procedures.
When the official verified source does not publish price or language details, the table says so instead of estimating them.
