In today’s fast-paced aviation industry, effective communication is more than a skill—it’s a necessity. The ICAO English Proficiency Test ensures that pilots and air traffic controllers possess the language capabilities required for seamless and safe operations. At CaptainPilot, we’ve crafted specialized training modules to help you excel in this critical evaluation and advance your career.


Master the Test Structure with Ease


The ICAO English Proficiency Test assesses your ability to communicate in both routine and challenging scenarios. It consists of three main sections:

  1. Listening Comprehension

    • Understand simulated ATC transmissions, aviation weather briefings, and non-routine communications.

    • Respond accurately to operational scenarios using standard phraseology and plain English.



  2. Interactive Speaking

    • Practice routine and non-routine dialogues with our interactive modules.

    • Prepare for role-play scenarios that mirror real-life emergencies and operational challenges.



  3. Functional Communication

    • Develop skills to describe aviation-related images and resolve complex problems with clarity.

CaptainPilot’s Aviation Listeners and Radiotelephony Phraseology modules are tailored to help you conquer each of these sections with confidence.
