A1/A2/A3 Open Category Pilot Certificate Training

As of December 31, 2020, under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947, obtaining a UAS pilot certificate in the OPEN A1/A3 subcategories became mandatory to operate drones weighing 250 grams or more, or weighing less than 250 grams but equipped with sensors (cameras and video cameras) capable of collecting personal data.

To provide, in a straightforward manner, the basic information that a UAS pilot in categories A1-A3 needs to know to operate UAS safely, Masterdrone has developed an effective training course that will enable participants to successfully complete the “Online Training Test” to obtain a UAS pilot certificate in the OPEN A1/A3 subcategories.

Our courses are held in person, with specially trained staff, at our store in Brescia, located at Via Aurelio Saffi 14; or online for those who are unable to travel to our store. So, no simple PDFs or video lessons without the opportunity to ask questions in real time, but genuine live interaction—the only real added value in training courses.

WHO IS IT FOR - Any current or future pilot flying drones weighing from 250 grams up to 25 kg in the OPEN category. The EASA EU drone certificate will allow you to fly in all EU member states, as well as Switzerland, Iceland, and Norway.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS - No prior knowledge is required. Practical training is also not required.

VALIDITY - Once you have successfully completed the final exam, you will obtain an OPEN A1/A3 category pilot certificate, valid for 5 years. The minimum age to obtain a pilot certificate is 16.

COST - The training course costs €99.00 (VAT included) and includes approximately 3–4 hours of in-person training at our store in Brescia, Via Aurelio Saffi 14, as well as:

  • OPEN A1/A3 drone pilot certificate theory manual
  • Complete workbook (questions and answers)
  • Step-by-step guide to the online exam
  • OPEN A1/A3 category certificate exam with unlimited attempts for up to 30 days
