English Proficiency Test
 

The recent RT/PC this year requires us to all pass an "english proficiency test" to hopefully a Level 6 "expert" level. Does anyone know if this is a HKCAD requirement, ICAO requirement, or is it required by the Company?

Dang, I hope I pass bec. it's the only language I know! For those curious as to what it entails, a buddy of mine just went through it and he was just asked to talk openly about what he'd do if there was a fire in the cabin. Nothing too formal it seems.

Aloha.

It's an ICAO requirement that the CAD is enforcing in HK.

Correct. ICAO requirement from 2008 but some organisations starting testing of new recruits now.
Minimum Level 4 (on scale of 1 to 6) required by Pilots and ATC.

However please note it is an ENGLISH test.............so you americans better start studying and learn how to pronounce the words properly ................................

such as:

route......tomatoe...................etc etc


:p :p

anti, multi, Iraq, Iran, nuclear, :p :} :p

and pls call it football that the world plays not the World Series played by 51 states.:O

Hairy Chest:

Unfortunately, some working class hooligans have hi-jacked the term "football" - maybe they can't pronounce soccer (or confuse it with an often-used swear word sounding similar but beginning with the letter "f").

Proper football, as we all know, is Rugby Union:}

BTW: it's called the The World Series because it was originally launched and sponsored by a newspaper called The World.

Fédération Internationale de Football Association

2006 FIFA World Cup Germany

highjacked ? hmmmmmm

you say tomatoe...i say tomato
 

Yanks: "Status" - Queens: "Stay-tus"

Yanks: "Tuna" - Queens: "Tieu-na" (was actually debriefed on that one )

Yanks: "Schedule" - Queens: "Shed-ule" (When kids goto "school" do they ride a "shool-bus?")

;) :)

Check again, Hairy: ain't no "World Series" in American football. (Pronounced, btw, "fooot-bowel")
