I was in the right seat of Aircraft X on the RNAV 2L at DPA. We were cleared for the approach in VFR conditions. We passed about 20 ft. from the drone at our altitude at the BOMER IF. The drone was reported to DuPage Ground Control.

ATC cleared us for practice RNAV GPS Runway 02l at DPA. At if BOMER, encountered a quad copter drone at 3,000 ft. MSL. Drone was at 1 o'clock position and not seen until within 30 feet of aircraft. Happened so quick, unable to take evasive action. Drone flew over cabin within five feet, otherwise it would have impacted windscreen. Reported incident to DPC Ground Controller after landing.
