Assessment Protocol Validation

If you want to check the authenticity of a language test protocol which was issued by LTB-106/LAB-106, please enter the validation code which you see on the front page of the assessment protocol into the field below:


Check says: OK!

Everything confirmed? Great!
We are happy that you enjoyed using our language testing services.

I was not successful

No validation code on the protocol? Please note that the validation service is not available for older assessment protocols.
You can always contact us via e-mail to confirm authenticity of results.

How we establish your test result:

STEP 1

You take the language test with an examiner. The examiner (also called the operational expert, or LPE) will assign an initial rating.

STEP 2

A linguistic expert (also called LPLE) will listen to the voice recording of your test and will also assign a rating and a level of proficiency.

Step 3

The LTB performes a final check - in case of differences between LPE and LPLE it also assigns a third rating. Finally, the LTB will send the results to you and the licensing authority.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I AIM FOR A LEVEL 6 AND THEN I DON'T PASS?

You can take the test, aimed at a higher level (e.g. level 5 or 6). Even if your result isn't good enough to receive that level, you might still pass with a lower level.

DO I HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE TAKING THE TEST WHAT LEVEL I WANT TO ACHIEVE?

No, you don't have to decide. The examiner will ask you about your self-assessment but the test will be the same. It might even be possible that you end up with a higher level than expected!

WHY IS THERE NO PERIOD OF VALIDITY FOR LEVEL 3?

Level 3 or below does not allow you to fly at all - therefore, it has no period of validity. It won't be endorsed on your licence.

I HEARD THAT THE LEVEL 6 IS VALID FOR AN UNLIMITED PERIOD OF TIME. IS THAT CORRECT?

Right now - yes. But EASA has already put a limit on the validity of air traffic controllers' LP level 6. (9 years)
The period of validity for pilots is still unlimited.
