How the theory exam works

1. Complete your theoretical training at a flight school (DTO/ATO).
2. Your flight school registers you with Trafikstyrelsen for a date, stating the place and the subjects you want to sit.
3. Choose Danish or English as the exam language; the English version has its own nomination form.
4. Arrive at least 15 minutes before the start with a photo ID. If you do not show up without cancelling, a fee applies.
