Owl news 40 Years of Aviation English

spacespacespacespacespacespacespacespacespacespacespacespacespacespacespaceAviation

Anglo-Continental Aviation English Division is celebrating 40 years of teaching specialised Aviation English language training to aviation organisations worldwide! Anglo-Continental offers a range of courses which have been specifically designed to assist aviation organisations and individuals to achieve the mandatory ICAO Level 4 (Operational).

Aviation Courses available include:

  • Introduction to Aviation English
  • English for Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers (ICAO Course 291)
  • Teaching Methodology Course for Teachers of Aviation English
  • Professional Training Course for Raters/Assessors
  • Specialised Aviation English Language Training Courses
  • English plus Private Pilot Training
Anglo-Continental also offers a Test of English for Aviation Personnel (TEAP) which is widely used to assess the language competence of pilots and air traffic controllers in accordance with the ICAO Language Proficiency Rating Scale. Aviation personnel and/or their sponsors are then able to determine a training programme with more confidence.
