Prepare for an ICAO ELP Test with One-on-One Training Online
Aviation English Asia Ltd delivers live ICAO Aviation English tutorials with qualified instructors worldwide. Our one-on-one online sessions build genuine operational communication proficiency through real-time feedback and personalised instruction, helping pilots and air traffic controllers achieve ICAO Level 4+. Tutorials are available for both Commercial Pilots and Air Traffic Control Officers.
Breaking Through Self-Study Limitations
Many pilots invest months in online courses, apps, and practice materials, yet continue making the same pronunciation errors, grammar mistakes, and interaction problems during assessments. Self-study cannot identify ingrained habits or provide the immediate correction needed to eliminate persistent errors. Our live tutorials address this gap with expert intervention that stops you repeating mistakes and builds the precise communication skills required for aviation operations.
