Interactive Training for Professional Phraseology
CommCheck™ transforms structured phraseology training from passive study into active practice. Built for aviation, maritime, emergency services, and safety-critical professions.
CommCheck™ transforms structured phraseology training from passive study into active practice. Built for aviation, maritime, emergency services, and safety-critical professions.
In aviation, maritime operations, emergency services, and other safety-critical professions, effective communication relies on structured phraseology—specialized language registers designed for clarity, precision, and consistency under pressure. Yet traditional training methods treat these fundamentally oral skills as passive book exercises. Students read phraseology, complete written exercises, then face the harsh reality of real-time radio operations with limited practice and high stakes.
For professionals learning these protocols in a second language, the gap becomes even more pronounced. They must simultaneously process domain-specific terminology, unfamiliar syntax patterns, and time-critical responses—all while managing the cognitive load of working in a non-native language.
CommCheck transforms structured phraseology training from passive study into active practice. Built on ASTi's decades of experience delivering realistic communication simulation, CommCheck provides a speech-interactive framework where trainees develop fluency through familiarity, repetition, feedback, and graduated complexity—before they ever key a live radio.
Engages the actual cognitive and motor pathways used in operations through interactive speech practice.
Combines text, imagery, video, and audio to support diverse learning styles and provide operational context.
Enables customized learning paths, progressive scenarios, and localized content tailored to your needs.
Delivers unlimited repetition without instructor overhead, allowing trainees to practice at their own pace.
Tracks individual progress and identifies specific areas requiring additional focus.
Access training from any device with a browser—practice on your schedule, wherever you are.

CommCheck functions as an authoring platform for speech-interactive training—analogous to how PowerPoint provides a framework for creating presentation decks—CommCheck provides the structure for building phraseology training courses.
Curriculum developers design the learning progression, create the scenarios, and define the assessment criteria. CommCheck handles the trainee speech interaction, feedback, and performance tracking.
Simple pronunciation and vocabulary drills, such as phonetic alphabet practice or number enunciation exercises, build basic fluency with essential terminology.
As proficiency develops, curriculum developers layer in contextual complexity—practicing standard clearances, emergency procedures, or position reports with supporting prompts.
Advanced scenarios can simulate complete operational sequences, such as gate-to-gate flight exercises that require trainees to manage multiple communications in the correct sequence.
CommCheck's framework extends beyond practice to supporting evaluation with standardized scenarios and defined performance criteria.
Communication failures remain a leading contributor to incidents and accidents across safety-critical industries. CommCheck enables trainees to build phraseology proficiency in a consequence-free learning environment.
CommCheck offloads basic and recurrent skill-development to self-paced practice, dramatically reducing team or simulator training hours and instructor time required.
When students start more advanced training with adequate phraseology preparation, instructors focus on judgment and professional skills rather than correcting basic radio technique.
Aviation phraseology exemplifies the challenge CommCheck addresses. Pilots and air traffic controllers must master a highly structured communication protocol where "descend and maintain flight level two-five-zero" has a precise meaning and "go down to 25,000" doesn't. For non-native English language speakers—a growing majority in global aviation—standard phraseology and plain language use represent a significant challenge.
Work through authentic clearances, read-backs, and abnormal procedures in a safe environment.
Develop fluency through repetition without tying up expensive simulators or instructor resources.
Experience multi-media scenarios with audio, video, airport diagrams, aircraft displays, and weather information.
Develop pronunciation and listening comprehension skills at your own pace with unlimited practice opportunities.
Students arrive at simulator training or line operations with foundational phraseology fluency already established, ready to focus on decision-making and higher-order skills.
Responsible for all Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) Naval Flight Officer (NFO) training and production, CTW-6 uses CommCheck for naval aviation communications training.
Horizon Air is using CommCheck to train aircraft maintenance crew in the proper phraseology and procedures to use when communicating with ground control.
Additional application examples from across safety-critical industries will be featured soon.
While aviation English represents CommCheck's primary application, the platform's flexible framework extends to any profession requiring structured communication protocols: maritime radio procedures, emergency services dispatch, medical handoff protocols, or military communications. Wherever clarity and consistency in verbal communication are mission-critical, CommCheck provides the practice infrastructure.
