With this course, the sky's the limit for your future career as a cabin crew attendant on domestic and international flights.
Complete the Certificate III in Aviation (Cabin Crew) and you will be job ready for an exciting career as a flight attendant or cabin crew member! These jobs are extremely competitive, but having this nationally recognised and accredited qualification will give you a clear advantage over other applicants.
You'll gain valuable experience and skills in emergency response drills, first aid, responsible service of alcohol, teamwork and customer service, and preparation for cabin duties. You'll also learn the skills to deal confidently with difficult passengers or challenging situations on an aircraft, and go through crew member security training.
Depending on where you do your training, you may even get to learn inside a real Boeing 737 — in a full-length cabin with business and economy class seating, fully operational galleys, cabin service equipment and a PA system — where you can practice evacuating down a slide, deal with simulated cabin fires, and get life raft training.
Completion of this course can provide credit towards a relevant higher level qualification, should you wish to pursue further study.
