Language Proficiency Examination

Language competence, assessed fairly and transparently.

Language proficiency examinations under Part-FCL.055 and ICAO Doc 9835 — for pilots and aviation-related roles, as an individual exam or organised for flight schools, maintenance organisations, and AOC and NCC operators.

Demonstrating competence — without unnecessary pressure.

Communication is a core part of safe aviation. That's exactly why a language proficiency exam shouldn't become an additional hurdle in itself.

We create a professional, relaxed examination environment where candidates can demonstrate their actual language competence as authentically as possible. The exam itself, of course, stays fully aligned with the applicable requirements.

Our standard: assess fairly, communicate clearly, and document the level actually demonstrated in a traceable way.

Fair Level Guarantee

What matters is the level actually demonstrated.

Only the performance actually demonstrated is assessed — evaluated and documented in line with the applicable requirements. That gives candidates a fair, traceable assessment of their language competence.

Before the exam

We want candidates to know what to expect — and to go into the exam with a realistic sense of their current level.

Free pre-assessment

Level estimate
A short phone conversation gives a first estimate of existing language competence.
Individual preparation guidance
We offer guidance on which level is realistic to aim for, and what to focus on during preparation.
Short-notice appointments
Exam appointments can usually be arranged at short notice.

For individuals and organisations

The exam can be organised individually for a single pilot, or for multiple candidates within a flight school, maintenance organisation, AOC, or NCC operator.

That makes it possible to organise exams for teams and training groups in a structured way, too.
