English for Technical Aviation
greatness comes from small beginnings
Like all great things, we started small. We had a vision and ran with it.
Today, we have emerged as something truly special.
what - why - how
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
Nelson Mandela
the what
In aviation the abbreviation ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival at a given destination.
Our ETA abbreviation stands for English for Technical Aviation in a specific field.
Your goal is to gain and our goal is to offer
sustainable knowledge in
Aviation English
Simplified Technical English
and the tools for
Successful Completion of Interviews
Successful Completion of Certification Exams
You are determined to succeed in your endeavour and we are commited to supporting you to take-off on your journey to your goal.
Together, with your strong engagement and our comprehensive know-how, we will achieve the best possible Estimated Time of Arrival at your destination.
the why
In the 1950s the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) declared English the lingua franca of aviation.
In the 1980s the terms Aviation English (AE) and Simplified Technical English (STE) emerged.
Today, with over 1.5 billion people estimated to speak it, English is the most spoken language worldwide and AE or STE became mandatory for all aviation professionals.
However, the various aviation fields are vast and the knowledge needed is extensive and specific.
Thus, the training is challenging for both trainers and trainees.
the how
And yet, with highly qualified and talented trainers embedding the
suitable training method into the training,
and with the strong
engagement of the trainees, learning becomes easily manageable, enjoyable and, most important, it achieves the goal.
method - reason - team
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
Albert Einstein
the method
One can debate long and hard about proper training methods.
If you work with us, you will get to know and enjoy our training methods in detail.
Here we mention just our basic training pillars:
brain-friendly & structured
interactive & flexible
targeted curriculum modules
incorporating relevant materials and resources
adjusting input intensity and pace to trainee´s premises and needs
the reason
Words and expressions which mean one thing well known to all in everyday language, may have an additional meaning or a totally different meaning in AE or STE.
ICAO and EASA clearly define specific language skills to be assessed.
Therefore, one cannot learn this specific language completly alone, with the sole support of translation tools offered online.
Thus, highly qualified trainers having a profound knowledge of the specific aviation language are mandatory for proper, sustainable, and well-structured learning.

the compatibility
One should feel good within a group.
This happens only if one feels to be in the proper place.
Thus, it is in the the trainee´s interest to be part of a homogeneous group.
For this purpose a placement process takes place. Subsequently, ETA-Trainers advise which entry level is best suited for the trainee.
The assessment procedure does not consist of a test or an exam, it is a relaxed and amicable discussion with each trainee.
In this way knowledge compatibility, harmony and well-being of trainees is ensured.

specific-sustainable-special
The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.
B. B. King
Why us?
The uniqueness of our performance is based on the knowledge that
Learning is not about getting it
somehow into the head.
It is about how to properly embed it and then keep it in there.
While other providers may offer similar called trainings, accomplished by non-aviation specialists, and leave their clients after the training to navigate their newfound knowledge alone, we act according to the fact that:
True success lies in founded and durable knowledge realized through proper support and reinforcement.
We ensure you achieve this knowledge by our training methods and by our after-training support through complimentary refresher sessions.
That is why, when it comes to specific, sustainable, specialized trainings, we stand out as a beacon of excellence and reliability.
