Bespoke FRTOL courses are available for airlines/aircraft operators, training establishments, maintenance facilities and individuals.

Here is what one of our engineering customers has to say:

"As a group we found Planespeaks FRTOL course very good and pitched at the right level for the delegates. The instructor’s knowledge and willingness to adapt the training to suit our organisation was key to effective learning throughout the course. Planespeak have a very good understanding of how the organisation works and we’ll certainly be using his services again in future."

ICAO English Language Proficiency Test

English for Aeronautical Communication (TEAC)

The Test of English for Aeronautical Communication (TEAC) is a plain English for Aviation language testing system designed to assess the English language proficiency (ELP) of aviation personnel for ICAO Language Proficiency Requirements compliance.

The TEAC Test

The TEAC is a human interaction test between 1 candidate and 1 examiner, and takes approximately 30 minutes. Test tasks are focussed as much as possible on contexts relevant to a candidate's aviation role and experience. It is not a test of operational knowledge, but operational contexts and technical references are used to make sure that the ELP being assessed is appropriate.

ICAO Compliant exams!

Tests are produced with aviation professional input, and performances are assessed by 1 aviation professional and 1 language expert. The TEAC complies in all respects with the Test Service Provider requirements contained in ICAO Document 9835 ‘Manual on the implementation of the ICAO Language Proficiency Requirements’ (ICAO 9835), and EASA Part FCL.055 and related, published AMCs 1, 2 and 3.

Test Administration

Although the TEAC is delivered by Planespeak, the TEAC is produced, administered and managed by Lenguax which is both a UK CAA-approved ELP Testing Organisation and an approved EASA Language Assessment Body.
