How the ICAO English Test Works

Our exam is delivered fully online through a secure video call, making it convenient and accessible worldwide. The assessment is divided into two main parts:

Direct Interview

Video Call

In this section, the examiner will introduce aviation and personal-related topics and invite you to discuss them in detail. The aim is to evaluate your fluency, structure, and ability to clearly express thoughts in English. Unlike technical exams, the focus is on communication—not on recalling procedures.

Semi Direct Language Interview

Image questions

Describe aviation-related pictures, using appropriate terminology to show clarity and vocabulary range.

Listening questions

Respond to a variety of questions, demonstrating that you can process and explain information in full sentences.

00:00 / 00:07

ATC transmissions

Listen to transmissions and show that you can interpret, reformulate, and respond accurately—just as you would in operational situations.
