To be understood and to understand - because aviation safety matters

"Climb Level 4 is great ! You really DID your job."
– Serbian Pilot

Aviation safety – for passengers, pilots and air traffic controllers – is an absolute requirement. As 2011 approaches and the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) Language Proficiency Requirement becomes enforceable, aviation professionals must demonstrate Aviation English proficiency.

When empirical data show that over 70% of a sample of 28,000 incidents and accidents were caused by poor language skills, action needs to be taken. To remedy this safety challenge, ICAO will require Level 4 English proficiency for all international commercial pilots and controllers by 2011.

Designed exclusively for the Aviation professional to achieve ICAO Level 4 or 5 proficiency, Climb Level 4 is the most technically advanced, yet comprehensive, flexible and personalized, Aviation English training program available.
