THE Challenge

  • Pilots at ICAO levels 4 and 5 are re-tested for language proficiency at 3* and 6 year intervals.

  • Re-testing is stressful, and failures are expensive and disruptive to airline operations.

  • Without sufficient opportunities to practise and train, pilots may lose currency with language skills.

  • Finding professional language training that integrates with individual rosters is challenging.

* Under EASA rules, pilots at ICAO level 4 are re-tested at 4-year intervals.

THE SOLUTION

Command:

  • Uses operationally valid content which trains to ICAO levels 4 and 5.

  • Provides effective training to minimise costly disruption to operations caused by language test failures.

  • Provides regular training opportunities to maintain language proficiency and guard against language deterioration.

  • Allows you to tailor a schedule that fits your operational needs with flexible course delivery options.

“CBT or WBT is used in conjunction with live classroom sessions led by a qualified trainer in order to put into practice the oral communication and interaction skills that are at the heart of the ICAO language requirements”
