ICAO-EASA English Language Proficiency (ELP) Test for Pilots Online
AFTO, in partnership with our EASA-approved Language Assessment Body (LAB), provides ICAO-EASA English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessing for pilots who require ICAO ELP English minimum level 4, 5 or 6.
The aviation English language proficiency test can be completed ‘online’ over a ZOOM video call.
You will complete the ICAO/EASA ELP Test on our virtual platform, using a webcam and microphone in a flexible online environment and this will save you some time and expense. Once you have completed your live audio recorded video call, the Language Proficiency Linguistic Expert (LPLE) will assess and grade your answers and provide you with a final rating. You will receive your result and language certificate within days.
All testing procedures in use are compliant in all respects with the Test Service Provider requirements contained in ICAO Doc 9835 ‘Manual on the implementation of the ICAO Language Proficiency Requirements’, EASA Part FCL.055 including related FCL.055 (d), published AMCs 1, 2 and 3, and Commission Regulation (EU) No 2015/340.
GOOD TO KNOW ! (1) How often is ICAO aviation English tested?
How often you need to be reassessed depends on your level and licence.
Level 4 (Operational) must be reassessed at least once every three (3) years.
Level 5 (Extended) is tested at least once every six (6) years.
Level 6 (Expert) does NOT require a reassessment and is valid for life.
After completion of the test the candidate's licence will be endorsed with an ELP proficiency level. Generally, ICAO English Language Proficiency (ELP) level 4 is the mandatory minimum required for professional employment within the aviation industry.
GOOD TO KNOW ! (2) General information about the English language test
The exam questions are individually tailored to the examinee.
The language examiner only tests language ability, not subject knowledge. Although you are being tested on your understanding of a question so if you get a question and you are unsure of the answer, simply answer to the best of your knowledge. For example, what is the difference between Vx and Vy? You will be expected to at least talk about climb gradients, and if you cannot remember, you need to explain why.
Do not worry if you think you have failed to answer a question or an ATC read back. We are using all your answers and read backs to evaluate your proficiency and one failed or short answered question will not necessarily affect your grade.
In the exam, the examinee will NOT be asked any written questions or questions on grammar. Only the following six (6) linguistic competencies are evaluated, which are briefly limited to listening, understanding, rendering and speaking.
• Pronunciation - to speak English with a dialect or accent that is easy for the listener to understand.
• Structure - grammatical structures and sentence patterns.
• Vocabulary - speaks accurately and efficiently using the correct words.
• Fluency - the continuous flow and rhythm of speech.
• Comprehension - to understand and make sense of what is heard.
• Interactions - how well one responds in a conversation. This may include checking, clarifying, or confirming information if necessary.
