Which drone licence do I need?

Check your drone's class marking or its weight, and we'll tell you which Open-category sub-category applies and which certificate to get.

Does your drone have an EU class marking (C0–C6) printed on it?

+Does the A1/A3 course include the A2 certificate?

No. The A2 competence certificate is a separate qualification with its own theory exam and self-declared practical training. dronelingo currently prepares you for A1/A3 only.

+What counts as an "unmarked" or "legacy" drone?

A drone bought before the EU class-marking system applied, with no C0–C6 mark on the body. It's slotted by mass alone: under 250 g behaves like C0 (A1), 250 g to 25 kg behaves like C3 (A3).

+Is this tool an official source?

No. It's a study aid based on EU Regulation 2019/945 and 2019/947. Always confirm your drone's actual class marking and consult the official CAA guidance before flying.
