The Placement Test is used to assess speaking and listening proficiency in plain English and evaluates language proficiency in the following six proficiency criteria:

• Pronunciation
• Structure
• Vocabulary
• Fluency
• Comprehension
• Interactions

Our proficiency descriptors clearly define each candidate's skill levels and capabilities. As a result, students can be accurately placed in Aviation English courses that are right for them.

The listening section is computer adaptive and measures the examinee’s ability to understand English. This section consists of a number of traditional multiple-choice questions with four answer choices.

The speaking section assesses how effectively candidates can communicate in English and measures the examinee’s ability to respond to different aviation related situations and tasks. The speaking test is recorded and takes 20-25 minutes.

Rating and reporting processes are controlled by accredited Aerosolutions personnel to maintain test security and quality. Once the Placement Test is completed, candidates receive placement recommendations for Aviation English language courses and obtain an overall score. Results will be produced within two weeks after the test.
