English for Aviation

International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has mandated that all air-traffic controllers and pilots flying international routes must meet stringent new standards for English language proficiency.  It is critically important that pilots and air-traffic controllers have a grasp of the English language, and use it readily, as they are responsible for hundreds of lives and millions of dollars worth of state-of-the-art equipment. JET's English for Aviation focuses on the key language concepts, such as vocabulary, and phraseology necessary to improve airline safety, both on the ground and in the air for non-native English speakers. We understand English is essential, and not merely to meet a new standard, but to ensure safe flying everywhere. Our proven aviation preparation course tackles professional jargon and work-oriented uses in a general aviation context of English while still placing emphasis on specific topics such as aerodrome layout, runway incursions and engine failure.  As the demand for international air travel grows, there is also a growing shortage of qualified commercial pilots and controllers with the requisite English language skills necessary to communicate effectively.

The Benefits:

•  Eliminate unnecessary  liability exposure through English communication efficiency
•  Reduce critical and costly communication break-downs
•  Improve airline safety
