See How the Exam is Structured

The exam consists of 4 parts. Watch a short clip from each.

Part 1

Introduction

Before the assessment starts, the examiner outlines the scoring criteria, confirms your identity, and performs a short technical and radio check. This ensures the exam is conducted correctly and under approved ICAO procedures.

What you are asked to do in this part:

Show your ID
Show your surroundings
Pose for a profile picture for your certificate
Complete audio and radio check

Part 2

Speaking

This stage focuses on a natural conversation between you and the examiner. It is designed to assess your ability to communicate fluently on general topics and share your aviation background, demonstrating your comfort with the English language in a non-technical context.

What you are asked to do in this part:

Answer questions about your flying experience and training
Discuss your motivation for pursuing a career in aviation
Share your opinions on common aviation-related topics
Describe your typical flight preparation or a memorable flight

Part 3

Listening

In this section, your comprehension of real-world aviation communication is tested. You will listen to various audio recordings, ranging from standard radio calls to complex emergency scenarios, often featuring different international accents and radio interference.

What you are asked to do in this part:

Listen to recorded ATC and pilot communications
Identify and repeat key data like callsigns, flight levels, or headings
Summarize the main events of a recorded situation or incident
Answer specific questions to demonstrate full understanding of the audio

Part 4

Describing

The final part requires you to provide a detailed verbal analysis of aviation-related images. You will need to use your "plain English" skills to explain technical situations, incidents, or environmental factors, moving beyond standard phraseology.

What you are asked to do in this part:

Provide a comprehensive description of the provided photo
Speculate on the possible causes of the situation shown
Discuss the potential consequences for the flight or ground operations
Suggest appropriate pilot or ATC actions to resolve the scenario

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a very positive experience with ICAO4U. The atmosphere was excellent and helped reduce the stress associated with the exam. The examiner was very helpful and responded positively to my request to lower the volume, as I initially heard my own voice during the exam. The new exam format is very accessible and user-friendly. Before each part, the instructions are clearly explained through a pre-recorded message, ensuring that the information is consistent, clear, and the same for every candidate. This is a great solution because the quality of the instructions is not affected by any potential technical or equipment issues.

The app is well designed and includes practice exercises that closely reflect the format of the real test, making it much easier to feel confident on exam day. It helped me become familiar with the exam structure and focus on my English rather than worrying about the exam format. The entire process was professional, well organized, and smooth from start to finish. I can confidently recommend ICAO4U to any pilot preparing for the ICAO English Language Proficiency test.
