  How the Learning Process Is Structured

Our lessons develop all four key skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. This is achieved through aviation-focused activities such as phraseology practice, role plays, case studies, real ATC recordings, chart analysis, and structured communication tasks. All learning is guided by your teacher.

The course builds a strong foundation in aviation-specific vocabulary, phraseology, and grammar in context. You will also work on modals, conditionals, and structures for giving instructions, reporting, and clarifying. Homework and simulations will reinforce classroom learning.

At the end of the course, you will have a review and final exam to assess your overall progress. You will also take a mock ICAO ELP test with a real certified examiner.
