Travel & Tourism students based at our Charlton Athletic centre took part recently in a one day cabin crew training course. The course was run by ‘career in travel’ who delivers courses to students studying travel and tourism in colleges across the country.
The aim of the course was to provide students with an insight to the skills needed to progress in the travel industry and included:
- A full review of how a cabin crew interview is structure
- 'A day in the life of cabin crew'
- A background to aviation and the general airline terminology
- Preparation on how to present yourself to a group of people
- Grooming and dress
- Safety and emergency procedures
- Cabin services
- Airline training courses
Students were also given useful tips how to successfully complete an application form and give a strong interview.
At the end of the day students had the opportunity to speak to existing cabin crew members, trainers and airline interviewers to find out more information about the industry.
