This course is based on the requirements of the Manual on the Implementation of ICAO Language Proficiency Requirements (Doc 9835) and ICAO Guidelines for Aviation English Training Programmes. ICAO English Level 4 is the minimum proficiency in the English language to be demonstrated for operational use as a pilot, ATC or aviation professional. Extended Level 5 demonstrates a marked accent or localised regional variety of English. They are always transparent and understandable, although only a proficient listener may have to pay close attention. The ICAO Expert Level 6 exceeds the demands of aeronautical radiotelephony communications and accounts for most first-language speakers with native or native-like proficiency and second- or foreign-language speakers with a high level of proficiency.
