Why would you want to take an Aviation English Placement Test or Pre-ICAO Level 4

Test?

When you start our ICAO Aviation English Course it is very important that you start the course

at the correct level. The reason is:

1. If you start a course that is too easy, or does not correct your current level needs you will be

wasting valuable time. It also could cost you considerably more money and will lead you to

lose interest and commitment.

2. If you start at a course level where you are starting beyond your ability level, this will become

too difficult and you will become frustrated due to the lack of any real noticeable progress.

3. There is also another important benefit to the taking of Aviation English Placement Test

(AEPT) and / or Pre-ICAO Level 4 Test (PILT) before you start your training or take the ICAO

English Proficiency Test. You will be better able to determine how long it will take you to

realistically achieve your goal of meeting ICAO level 4 Proficiency criteria. This is cost saving

knowledge, which will greatly assist you in your future planning endeavors, of using English as

a second language.
