Test Procedure
Part 1: Dialogue (15 Minutes)

With open questions and photographs the examiner (LPE) initiates a dialogue. As the candidate becomes more fluent the examiner becomes more passive
Topics are personal introduction, work, routine and non-routine situations and, of course, flying whereby the content is adapted to the aviation backgroud of the candidate

Part 2: Computer-Based-Test (30 Minutes)

A random selection of up to 30 recordings is played. The candidate gives an appropriate verbal "answer" to each recording
The role of the examiner in this part is to answer questions of understanding where necessary or to replay the recording

General:

The examiner (LPE) is present during the whole test, either physically or online via Zoom
Both parts of the test are recorded electronically. This is a legal requirement. It enables a neutral and repeatable assessment of the language proficiency for the candidate, the testing organisation and the supervisory body
The recordings are assessed separately by a linguistic expert (LPLE). This second examiner is also a legal requirement
The final rating takes into account the ratings of both examiners. In the case of disagreement the linguistic expert (LPLE) has the final word
The candidate normally receives the certificate showing the level achieved within two working days of the examination
