Is becoming Cabin Crew your dream job?

  • Do you want to TRAVEL THE WORLD and get PAID to do it?
  • Do you want to work in an industry known for its glitz and glamour?
  • Do you love working with people from different nationalities, ethnicities and cultures?

Then becoming Cabin Crew might be the perfect job for you! But how do you make your dream a reality?

I’ve been there. I used to watch the aircraft fly overhead in awe. I would watch YouTube videos of far flung exotic destinations that I feared I could never afford to visit. I dreamed of a life that seemed a million miles away from reality…

Since starting my travel blog www.lifeasabutterfly.com back in 2011 I have come to know that I was not alone. Since this time, I have received thousands of e-mails from prospective Cabin Crew who dream of a life at 30,000ft, just like I did. I’ve also come to realise that unfortunately there are many people who do not succeed in making this dream a reality. Why?

Getting a job as Cabin Crew is tough

Success rates for Cabin Crew applicants are around 5% worldwide.That means, on average, that only one out of every twenty people who apply for a job as Cabin Crew are successful. I can help you to become that one person.

Becoming Cabin Crew is not about luck, nor is it about looking like a supermodel. In order to become Cabin Crew you need to have the following:

  • An exceptionally well-written CV/application form
  • Working knowledge of the airline and of the airline industry
  • A high level of assessment day preparation
  • Ability to perform under pressure
  • Ability to demonstrate your teamwork, customer service and selling skills
  • Strong interpersonal skills
  • High standards of grooming and personal presentation
  • Excellent interview skills
  • Confidence in yourself and your abilities

A common mistake that most people make is that they do not look past the assessment day. But the reality is that this is only the first hurdle.Most online Cabin Crew courses, blog posts and YouTube videos focus on only on how to pass the assessment day. Yes, this is important, but it is actually only one of four steps to securing your job as Cabin Crew. Here are the four steps:

1- Application form/CV

2-Assessment day/interview

3-Training course

4-Probation period

Did you know that around 10% of people who successfully pass the assessment day do not graduate from their Cabin Crew training course?

Working as Cabin Crew entails far more than looking beautiful and serving tea and coffee. At 30,000ft there are no emergency services, so if needed you will be required to administer first aid, fight a fire or even deliver a baby!! Your training course is an intense period of practical and written training followed by strict exams. If you do not pass these, you will not be entitled to continue working with the airline. Airlines are also super strict with aspects such as lateness and grooming standards, so many prospective Cabin Crew will fail on these grounds too.

Once you have proven yourself in the classroom you will need to need to apply your skills in the real world. You will be closely monitored to check that you are adhering to company and Civil Aviation Authority procedures and regulations. Unfortunately, some Cabin Crew fall at this final hurdle.

Whilst all of this may sound daunting, you absolutely CAN DO IT! This course is designed to help you right from the beginning, covering all four of these steps to becoming Cabin Crew. All other online Cabin Crew courses available on the market focus only on stages one and two, leaving you high and dry at a time when you actually need them most. This leaves many Cabin Crew feeling nervous and apprehensive about what the next stages of their Cabin Crew journey will entail. This course is different in that I will ‘hold your hand’ throughout the entire process, providing you will the knowledge, skills and confidence to be successful at all four stages of the Cabin Crew recruitment journey and into the skies ahead!

The brutal truth why most Cabin Crew applicants fail

For most people who miss out on securing their dream job as Cabin Crew, the reason is that they did not do sufficient preparation prior to their application. Here are some of the main reasons that most people fail:

  • They have insufficient knowledge of the airline that they wish to work for
  • They do not know what the job role entails (it is more than just looking pretty and serving tea and coffee!)
  • They do not have the confidence to demonstrate their skills and qualities
  • Their personal presentation and grooming is not up to the required standard
  • They do not demonstrate strong teamworking skills at their assessment day
  • They have no knowledge of sales techniques
  • They are not able to provide sufficient examples of their customer service experience
  • They have poor interpersonal or social skills
  • Their application form/CV is poorly written

Are you confident in all of the above areas? Probably not. I can guarantee that your application will not be rejected for any of the above reasons upon completion of this course.

Why do a Cabin Crew course?

Did you know that many airlines will only let you apply for a job with them once every few months or even years? This means that it will take some people several years of applications and interviews to secure their dream job! This makes it even more important that you get it right first time. This course will help you to do that.

I can’t believe I am saying this, but you do not need a Cabin Crew qualification to secure a job as Cabin Crew. HOWEVER, you do need a good working knowledge of the industry, a strong understanding of the roles and responsibilities of Cabin Crew and excellent employability skills. These things I can guarantee you will have upon completion of the Becoming Cabin Crew Online Diploma.

Most online courses available are taught by ex-Cabin Crew. Whilst I have no doubt that these people have an excellent knowledge of the job role and of the airline or airlines that they worked for, that’s about all that they can bring to the table. This is the only online course available that is taught by a qualified teacher. That means that all of my teaching practices are underpinned by pedagogical methodologies, ensuring that they are designed to meet the needs of all types of learners and that you will have maximum benefit from the course. You won’t watch a video and forget what I told you an hour later. Through a range of practical tasks and activities and varied delivery styles you will retain the knowledge acquired from this course, therefore maximising your chances of having a successful career as Cabin Crew.

Because I am employed by day as a University Lecturer, I have regular contact with industry professionals. This ensures that my knowledge of the aviation industry is up to date, something that you will be unlikely to find with other online Cabin Crew courses. Furthermore, for the past 8 years I have been an employability skills champion, running workshops and formal classes with my students, helping them to secure employment in the tourism and aviation industries. I can help you to do this too.

Course content

This course is not designed only to help you get a job as Cabin Crew. It is much more than that! I have developed the course in accordance with specifications developed by the three major UK exam bodies who offer Cabin Crew qualifications. You have probably heard of BTEC, City and Guilds and NCFE from when you were at school or college, you might have even undertaken some of their qualifications! These exam bodies are highly regarded, developing professional and well-managed qualifications. Having previously taught on all three of these courses I have taken the best bits from each in order to form the Becoming Cabin Crew Online Diploma and to ensure that it is the best course on the market.

The course is structured around six core units which include:

  • Working as Cabin Crew
  • Airline safety and security
  • Aircraft emergency situations
  • Dealing with passengers
  • Cabin service selling techniques
  • Making passenger announcements

An equivalent course delivered at a college would take up to a year to complete and it would cost up to £3000. Because this course is delivered online there are fewer overheads, which means that I can pass these savings on to you, making the course excellent value for money. You can also work at your own speed- you can complete the course in as little as a few days or you can spread it over a few weeks or even months!

As a qualified and experienced teacher, I have developed the Becoming Cabin Crew Online Diploma to ensure maximum benefit to you- the student. There are 20 video presentations and over 30 written and practical tasks for you to complete. You will also have access to a peer forum on Facebook where prospective and existing Cabin Crew member share their experiences, tips and job vacancy details. You have access to the course materials 24/7, meaning that you can complete it as you wish and once finished you will be awarded a Becoming Cabin Crew certificate.

Not convinced?

Remember how I said that only 5% of applicants are successful at their assessment day? And then a further 10% of these people do not pass their training? This makes your odds of securing a job as Cabin Crew rather low…Don’t let the opportunity of a lifetime pass you by. Yes, you can read some helpful blog posts online about becoming Cabin Crew. But none will fully prepare you for your training course. None will include practical tasks for you to undertake to help cement your learning and retain that all-important information. None will assess your employability skills or customer service experience or selling techniques. None will fully prepare you for the four steps of Cabin Crew recruitment.

Yes, you could buy a couple of nice pairs of shoes and a few glasses of wine on a night out for the price of this course. But think about the difference that spending this money could make to your life. In a few months time you could be sipping cocktails on a beach one minute and serving David and Victoria Beckham’s kids a slap-up meal in the first class cabin the next. Your dream life is there for the taking. I promise you, once you are cruising the aisles at 30,000ft on route to your next exciting destinations, you will not regret parting with your money. In fact, I am so convinced that you will love this course that I am offering a 100% money back guarantee within 30 days of purchase. On completion of the you will receive a Becoming Cabin Crew certificate of completion and ongoing support through the Cabin Crew peer Facebook group.

I'm Hayley. I've taught travel and tourism, aviation and cabin crew courses at school, college and university level for over ten years. One day, when my computer hard drive was almost full, I realised that I literally had thousands of teaching resources that I had built up over the years that were just sitting there dormant. What a waste!

After consulting with some other teachers and lecturers I realised that I am not the only person with two dozen USBs in my office drawer labelled 'T&T resources'.... And that was when the travel and tourism teaching resources platform was born! Lets help each other out, share the workload and improve our lessons!
