Aviation English

Let’s be honest, being a pilot is the dream job, isn’t it? The aviation industry is fascinating, perhaps because it evokes images of our holidays. It’s also fascinating because the language is so vital and particular and the international operational language of aviation is, of course, English.

The English capability of pilots and air traffic controllers is assessed every three to six years (depending on the level of the professional) in the IACO AELTS test and a level 4 (Operational) is mandatory in order to work. This highlights the importance of Aviation English classes.

Our experienced teachers follow a methodical programme to ensure IACO compliance, enabling professionals in the aviation industry to develop the skills needed to succeed in any level four assessment and also to function effectively and safely in an aviation environment.

The classes aim to explore not only the necessary aviation phraseology but also the plain English required for communication between pilots and air traffic controllers and between pilots and pilots, all contextualised in real-world aviation situations.

Current and past students include pilots and air traffic controllers working for Air France, KLM and LATAM.
