For "Level 4-6," you can expect 18 questions and a 15-minute free conversation with the examiner. In the ICAO Language Proficiency Tests for Levels 5 and 6, the examination is concluded with an audio sample of an ATIS or a radio transmission: 18 questions and 15 minutes of free interview time, totaling approximately 45 minutes.
Important: Although we mainly operate in the context of aviation, it is never about technical knowledge, but only about the correct use of the English language. Please take a look at our exam examples page!
The ICAO Language Proficiency Test begins with a first section consisting of several individual questions that should be answered briefly but precisely. One component involves spelling and reading frequencies and altitudes according to ICAO guidelines. Additionally, an image with aviation context will be shown, and you are expected to describe it as accurately as possible. Long answers are generally not required nor desired. This section assesses language proficiency and listening comprehension. Two image descriptions are also part of this section.
The second part is the so-called "interview": In a relaxed conversation, you can talk with the examiner about anything you like.
You will find a detailed explanation of the evaluation criteria for the respective ICAO level here.
With our "ICAO Language Proficiency Test PRO" you will automatically receive the highest possible level according to your language skills.
In the shorter format, "ICAO Language Proficiency Test BASIC" your language level will not exceed Level 4.
The audio channel of our exams is recorded and uploaded to a certified Second Level Examiner (SLE).
You will receive your new ICAO language certificate promptly via email after the evaluation of your performance (usually within 24 hours).
You will then submit the certificate to your licensing authority and have your new language qualification with the corresponding level entered into your license.
You will receive information and details about the specific process from us via email after the examination, along with your certificate.
