Careers - Becoming a Flight Attendant

Becoming a Flight Attendant

You’ll often hear becoming a flight attendant is easy. The minimum qualifications center on a high school diploma or equivalent, as well as certain age and physical characteristics and abilities. These minimum qualifications are, indeed, often easy to fulfill. However, these qualifications are just that, minimums. With the recent increase in flight attendant applicants to airlines, it takes more than just this minimum to really accomplish your dream of becoming a flight attendant.

More education and preparation is always better, and with The Travel Academy, you’ll get this education to realize your dream in just six weeks - all with a strong focus on another widely recognized qualification for becoming a flight attendant – customer service skills.

Getting your Job as a Flight Attendant

While the training above gives you a tremendous advantage to becoming a flight attendant, we know you won’t get anywhere without an interview. At The Travel Academy, we know when the airlines are hiring and where they interview, so we’ll set you up with these interviews even while you’re still in school! Our name recognition and reputation speaks highly in the travel industry; many of the students we’ve trained have gone on to become flight attendants at major airline carriers.

Our on-site Placement Department, one of the most unique benefits of The Travel Academy, makes getting interviews – and a job – even easier. Many of our graduates are placed before they’ve even completed training. Three quarters of the way through your training, the department starts working to place you.

Once you’ve secured your flight attendant job, you’ll still need to pass your airline’s Flight Attendant Training Course. This will be a more specific training relative to your airline’s particular service standards and emergency procedures.
