All training content is Aviation-based and designed to fit your needs, following the Guidelines from the ICAO manual for language proficiency.

Our training focuses on reaching Operational Level 4 or up skilling to Level 5.
We train you on all the ICAO requirements: pronunciation, structure, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension and interaction.
Specifics of aeronautical communication
- Speaking and listening skills
- Highly context dependent
- Relying on clear and accurate speech due to the absence of visuals
- The separation of speakers in space
- Only one speaker can transmit at a time
- Communication conditions are generally poorer than face to face communication
All actors in aeronautical communication must demonstrate an operational degree of language proficiency and be able to communicate comprehensibly in situations which cannot be described solely through the use of standard phraseology.
