The classes and courses on Fly High English are designed for flight attendants, pilots, people interested in these careers, business people or anyone interested in learning English. All classes are done via Skype or Zoom. This gives you the flexibility to continue your course wherever you are; at home, on layover in a hotel or even on reserve at the airport. Outside of class time you are expected to review things you have studied in your previous classes and also to do any homework given to you by your teacher.
Getting Started
If you don’t have a Skype account you can create one for free here or you can create a Zoom account here. You should add ‘flyhighenglish’ as a contact (in Skype or Zoom) before you begin your course.
Before you start a course you usually need to do an evaluation. This evaluation is usually around 30 minutes and is free. It’s a good chance for you to test your internet connection and for us to get to know your level of English and what your objectives are. You don’t need to prepare anything for this. We’ll talk about your english learning history, your career, aviation in general and do a couple of activities if necessary. Remember this isn’t a test, it’s just for us to get an idea of things we might need to study or review in the future.
Course Content
Because your course will be just you, the content of it will be suited to your needs, if you want to do an interview preparation course and already have the required English level necessary, the focus will be on interview type questions and talking about your experience, your character etc..

Cancellations
If you cancel a class or mock interview three hours in advance, you don’t pay anything, if you cancel less than three hours before or you don’t cancel and don’t appear for your class or mock interview, you must pay the full value for the class. Class cancellations should be done by email.
Unless otherwise agreed, classes and courses are valid for twelve months. So if you purchase classes on 5th February, you can take those classes until 4th February of the next year, if you don’t take all of your classes within these twelve months you will lose them.
Working via Skype or Zoom sometimes creates unexpected internet problems, in this circumstance there is no charge for cancelled classes.
Normal Classes
For a normal class, you’ll need a device for connecting to Skype or Zoom and an internet connection to support video calling. Usually, this is a laptop computer but you could use a tablet or a phone. You’ll also need something to write your notes on, this could be paper or again it could be your computer, tablet or phone.
