We are CASA Approved English Language Proficiency Assessors for GELP and AELP Level 6.

CASA has adopted the English proficiency standards of the International Civil Aviation Organisation for PPL, CPL and ATPL licences. Student pilots must pass a General English Language Proficiency (GELP) test to begin training, but to sit for PPL or above licence you must pass an Aviation English Language Proficiency (AELP) test.

The GELP assesses your everyday use of English. It’s aimed at people who are either just starting their flying training or want to be able to use aviation air-band radios. It doesn’t test your knowledge of aviation terminology and can only be used to apply for certain licences and certificates. For example, a recreational pilot licence (RPL) without a flight radio endorsement and aeronautical radio operator certificate (AROC).

You must meet English language requirements to use an aeronautical radio. The aviation English language proficiency (AELP) assesses your verbal proficiency in English and aviation terminology.
