You’ll probably be put on a structured training programme if you’re a member of the cabin crew. You spend several weeks learning about passenger safety, aircraft safety equipment, emergency procedures, security and first aid. You must pass a probation period after this before becoming a full member of the cabin crew team.
With time, training and experience, you could work your way up to a more senior role such as a supervisor, manager or flight dispatcher.
Other opportunities later on in your career could include cabin crew training, passenger services marketing, sales or recruitment.
Depending on who you work for, you may have opportunities to take extra training. This could be for a certificate, diploma or NVQ in an area such as aviation operations.
