With any luck you will get airfields in your local area, I did
I am from the Netherlands and did the CAA PPL exams in Florida. I needed to fly from one UK place to the other on my nav exam and I didn't even have the foggiest idea in which part of the UK those places could possibly be found.

In fact, the nav exam was the very first time I ever laid eyes on the UK ICAO chart. Up till then everything (prep at home and actual flying) was done with either the Jeppessen Low Countries (NL, Be, Lux) or the FAA ones for Florida.

Passed the exam first try though, and didn't even ran out of time. Although I did run out of floor space: at OFT they have these tiny briefing rooms with two chairs and a 60x60cm wall mounted table. They're also used for the theory exams, including nav. You can almost completely unfold the UK ICAO chart on the floor.
