Quick Tips

• ICAO English test

Success in an ICAO English test is not just a matter of what you say, it's how well you say it. Pronunciation is particularly important and often neglected by candidates. Some candidates need more help with pronunciation than others, so if you need extra help you should attend Aviation English Asia's weekend Pronunciation Supplementary Classes, in addition to the regular ICAO Aviation English course.

Each Supplementary Class is conducted by an experienced Aviation English teacher, and focuses on a different area of pronunciation.  You can find more details of our Supplementary Classes here - http://aviationenglish.com/english-for-pilots-and-atcos/supplementary-classes

• ICAO English test

One of the most important factors in ICAO test success is how frequently you attend Aviation English classes. AEA courses are designed to encourage a healthy study rhythm. The most effective study rhythm for candidates applying for a cadet pilot programme is 2-3 units plus a Supplementary Class per week over a 10-25 week period, plus a number of homework exercises to reinforce what you have learned in class.  

But if you are retaking an ICAO English test and have just 12 weeks to prepare for the retest, our statistics show that attending 4-5 units each week (ideally 50 units over 10-12 weeks) is going to help you become closer to ICAO level 5.  Students that try to go faster by also attending courses from other providers always get distracted and ultimately waste time and energy. Don't burn out, trust Aviation English Asia Ltd and maintain the pace that we recommend.

If you are a commercial pilot retaking an ICAO English test, you will find that 15-20 hours of classes each week is appropriate for you.  Whatever your learning need, Aviation English Asia Ltd can help. Just call us on +852 81799295 to arrange your consultation.

• ICAO English test

Airline recruiters have come to realise that proficiency in English is the most important thing for candidates preparing for an airline's cadet pilot programme. There are a wide range of aviation courses available in Hong Kong, but all of them will distract you from your real priority, which is improving your English.  

This is the reason why - language takes time to improve because it is a collection of physical and mental habits, whereas aviation theory can be learned relatively quickly.  The good news is that while you are improving your English with Aviation English Asia Ltd you will also be immersed in the world of aviation and develop good habits and the mindset of a successful pilot.  You will be able to improve your Basic Aeronautical Knowledge at the same time.  When it comes to interviews and aptitude tests you will already be prepared.  Flying hours? You don't actually need them for many cadet programmes as the airline want to avoid something called "negative training".  This is why cadet programmes want candidates with 250 hours and CPLs to relearn everything to the airline's standards.  

If you are a non-native speaker of English you can't afford not to apply for a place on our Aviation English course.  If you are applying for a cadet programme this is the best course to help you achieve that goal - http://aviationenglish.com/english-for-pilots-and-atcos/icao-aviation-english-for-cadet-entry-pilots

• ICAO English test

All good airlines want their new-hire pilots to achieve ICAO level 5 or 6.  If you are applying for an airline as a cadet pilot and only have ICAO level 4 you will probably be advised to keep working on your English throughout the selection process.  One of the big mistakes we see is that weak candidates stop learning English after they reach a marginal ICAO level 4.  But what happens to these candidates after they begin their cadetship? Some find flight training difficult, others fail check-rides and get grounded when back in HK, and one even had a tail strike because she misunderstood directions from an instructor.

So keep improving your English, even after you pass.  You will inspire others and enhance the safety culture of your airline.

This is the best course to help you improve your English if you have less than 250 flying hours. http://aviationenglish.com/english-for-pilots-and-atcos/icao-aviation-english-for-cadet-entry-pilots
