Course description

In line with the recommendations of ICAO document 9835 and circular 323, Command focusses on language in a range of non-routine situations in flight and ATC operations from depressurisation to fuel shortage, navaid failure to volcanic ash. The course is delivered in two parts:

Stand-alone web-based e-learning which trains listening comprehension, structure and vocabulary; and
Optional Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) sessions which develop the productive and interactive skills demanded by the operational environment. You choose a schedule which integrates with your operations.

Together, e-learning and VILT develop proficiency across all six ICAO criteria – Pronunciation, Structure, Vocabulary, Fluency, Comprehension and Interactions.
