Airline English Test
The English test that quietly ends most applications — practise it first.
Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad all screen your English before you ever reach the final interview — and it's where a huge share of candidates are cut. Take the free 10-question diagnostic below and see exactly where you stand.
Timed test
Free Diagnostic
- About 40 seconds per question — the clock is part of the challenge, just like the real airline test.
- You can't go back to a question once you move on.
- 10 questions. You'll see every correct answer and an explanation at the end.
What the airlines actually test
Not your accent — your accuracy under pressure
Aviation vocabulary
The exact words used on board — vacant, carry-on, disembark — in gap-fill sentences, against the clock.
Grammar & error-spotting
Choose the correct form and find the mistake — the backbone of the Qatar and Etihad written papers.
Reading comprehension
Short airline passages with questions on detail and inference, just like assessment day.
Questions
Before you start
Is the cabin crew English test practice free?
Yes. The 10-question diagnostic is completely free and doesn't require an account to take. Creating a free account lets you save your result and unlock the full 50-question practice bank.
Which airlines does this English test cover?
The questions are modelled on the formats used by Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad — aviation vocabulary gap-fill, grammar and error-spotting, and reading comprehension on airline-style passages.
Is this an official Emirates, Qatar Airways or Etihad test?
No. This is independent practice material built to mirror the style and difficulty of the real airline English screens. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any airline, and your score is a practice indicator, not an official result.
How long does the free diagnostic take?
About 8 minutes. It's timed per question — roughly the same pace as the real Emirates English screen — with an instant per-skill breakdown at the end.
