Timo Hausen

With a background in Aerospace Engineering Timo did his flight training with the European Flight Academy in 2018 and is currently pursuing his Master's degree in Engineering Management. For him, a comfortable environment is the key to good candidate performance:

"For me, creating a welcoming and relaxed testing environment is an essential part of every assessment. When candidates feel comfortable, they can communicate more naturally and demonstrate their true level of proficiency. That is the atmosphere I aim to create in every Language Proficiency Test."

WHY NEXT-LEVEL.AERO

A better way to approach language proficiency testing.

next-level.aero grew from a simple idea: an ICAO Language Proficiency assessment should be professional without feeling unnecessarily complicated.

Because we work in aviation ourselves, we understand the realities of pilot schedules, international operations and aviation communication. We built a process around those realities – with online appointments, direct personal contact with your examiner and a clear assessment process from booking to result.

We cannot make the exam itself easier. But we can make the experience around it better.
