FAQs

Who needs this refresher?

The refresher is required for anyone who has a valid certificate issued by the Netherlands and wants to renew it on time.

My current certificate is not issued by the Netherlands?

If your current A1-A3, A2 or STS certificate is issued by another country than the Netherlands, you have to follow the refresher in the country that issued your current certificate. That country is the competent authority.

Why is this so important?

Only a competent authority may issue certificates. Drone Class is a certified flight school from the Netherlands. Issued certificates are therefore from the Dutch authorities.
