• I understand that, subject to arrangement with the test centre through which I am applying, the full test fee must be paid at the time of application.

Disclaimer: It is the intention of the test partners that the tests of the English for Aviation Language Testing System (the EALT and the ICAO ELSA) be made available to all persons worldwide, regardless of age, gender, race, nationality or religion; however, the tests are not recommended to persons who are not involved or experienced in aircraft operations or operational aeronautical communications.

A test-taker’s EALTS language proficiency assessment is to be interpreted only as an assessment of that test-taker’s language proficiency as demonstrated on the day of the test. Overall EALTS language proficiency assessments of ICAO Operational Level 4 or Extended Level 5 have a fixedterm validity of 3 and 6 years respectively. It is known from experience and practical observation that loss in language proficiency can occur over time. This language loss can occur due to a variety of factors but for individuals who do not regularly use or in other ways maintain their second or foreign language over a period of time, deterioration in proficiency to some degree is a common experience. To counter the possible consequences of this potential loss of proficiency over time, Annexes 6 and 11 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation stipulate that service providers and aircraft operators should maintain oversight of their personnel’s operational language proficiency on a continuous basis between formal language assessments and emphasise the requirement for on the job monitoring of the communicative competence of personnel.

The EALTS has been specifically designed to preclude it from being used as the sole arbitrating factor considered by government agencies, national or regulatory authorities, air navigation service providers, aircraft operators, training institutions or others in determining whether or not an individual has the language proficiency in English in the context of aeronautical communications required of operational pilots and/or air traffic control officers. The EALTS is to be considered as only one of a range of evidences of communicative competence required in the determination of an individual’s demonstration of the language proficiency for professional licensing purposes; other evidences considered might include such as the following: R/T license attainment, instructor or supervisor assessments, classroom or simulator performance, on-the-job evaluations, documented time in English educational or work environments and other job-related interviews.

CAA International Ltd, Language Testing and Assessment Services Ltd and any other party involved in the creation, production or delivery of the EALTS shall not be liable for any direct, incidental, consequential, indirect, special, punitive, or similar damages (including liability arising by reason of negligence and liability in respect of consequential losses or loss of profits) arising out of access to, use of, acceptance by, or interpretation of the results arrived at by the mechanism of the EALTS by any third party, or any errors or omissions in the content thereof.
