    Language proficiency assessors support reliable evaluation of pilots and air traffic controllers against the ICAO Language Proficiency Rating Scale.

  3. Professional Development

    Develop specialist assessment knowledge for use where your organisation and the relevant authority accept your training and authorisation.

  4. Standards-Based Training

    Study the ICAO language proficiency framework. Course completion does not by itself grant universal authority to conduct examinations.

  6. Professional Community

    Learn alongside eligible aviation and linguistics professionals in an online course environment.

  7. No Employment Guarantee
