Beyond Level 4 for ATC is an 80 hour online aviation English training course designed specifically for air traffic controllers which includes personalised assessment and feedback by fully trained aviation English Language instructors. It is a cost effective training solution which actively develops language proficiency beyond ICAO’s level 4, resulting in extended periods between tests.
Beyond Level 4 also provides training for Controllers who have achieved ICAO level 5, to ensure they maintain their English proficiency between tests.
