ICAO Circular 323
Guidelines for Aviation English Training Programmes
ICAO Circular 323 was written by ICAEA and published by ICAO to lay down a set of guidelines and best practices by which aviation English training programs can be designed, delivered, staffed, managed and assessed for appropriacy, efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
“These guidelines were based on the expertise and experience of the Board and members of the International Civil Aviation English Association (ICAEA) as an integral part of its commitment to enhancing standards in aviation English training as instrumental to improving the standard of aviation communications worldwide. In doing so, there is one single concern: safety.
National authority personnel, training managers, administrators, training designers and providers, trainers or facilitators involved either directly in training or in its oversight will benefit from this circular as it will assist them in their efforts to ensure training efficiency and effectiveness.”
