Why this course is perfect for you?

Do you dream of becoming a flight attendant? Can you deliver great customer service from 10 000 metres up in the air? If so, get your head out of the clouds and let your career take flight with the Damelin Cabin Crew Certificate.
Cabin crew, also known as stewards/stewardesses, air hosts/hostesses or flight attendants are members of an aircrew employed by airlines to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers aboard commercial flights, both domestically and internationally.  Working as cabin crew for a major airline is an exciting and challenging experience. In addition to jetting off to exotic destinations and meeting interesting people, the job also requires a high degree of responsibility and specialisation to ensure that passengers have a pleasant experience from the moment the board an aircraft, to the moment they deplane. Some of the responsibilities of a flight attendant include checking flight schedules, welcoming passengers on board and informing them on safety procedures, serving meals and refreshments, making announcements, giving first aid where necessary, ensuring passengers disembark safely on landing, and in rare cases, handling flight crises that require immediate landing.
This course is ideal for young professionals looking to get a head start in the profession, introducing the skills and responsibilities expected by the world’s leading airlines.  An excellent command of the English language is vital for those who desire international routes, and most airlines expect that their first-class flight attendants speak a few foreign languages.  In this course you will cover modules such as, Customer Service, Tourism, Aviation Training and Grooming and Food Theory, to ensure that you take off to incredible heights.
