Aspiring Cabin Crew

Our mission is to give you the confidence and knowledge to achieve your goals, and to lead you into a rewarding and enjoyable career in the airline industry.

At flypeople we provide you with truly professional training, delivered by the most experienced and qualified instructors. Our training methods are designed to welcome you into this most exciting industry – training which is friendly, comprehensive and FUN. Our most popular course is the Cabin Crew Attestation. Please also take a look at our frequently asked questions.

The 'Cabin Crew Attestation of Initial Training' has traditionally been provided by the airlines themselves, but is now available privately through flypeople. The qualification means you can apply for jobs knowing you are one step ahead of other applicants who don't have the Attestation. It gives you the generic safety knowledge which is common to all cabin crew working on European registered aircraft. If you then go on to be successful in obtaining a cabin crew position the airline will add to it with their own company specific practices and also conversion training to a particular aircraft type. By arriving with your attestation already in place, you remove a huge amount of stress from airline induction and training process, and significantly improve your chances of passing the airlines own training elements. It demonstrates your motivation, proves you can pass EASA exams, and gives you a big advantage over other applicants.

Flypeople offer six day cabin crew Attestation courses for those who have not previously worked as cabin crew, are fluent in English, and who would like to work on European registered aircraft. Courses run every month, with availability at our training centres in Malta or London Heathrow. The course costs €985.

Experienced Cabin Crew

Flypeople also offer four day Cabin Crew Attestation courses for those with flying experience, are fluent in English. Courses run every month, with availability at our training centres in Malta or London Heathrow. The cost of the course is €985.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q How is this different to other courses?

A It is a real professional qualification as held by current operating cabin crew.

Q What are the entry requirements?
A Ideally you should be 18 or over. You can attend the course aged 17, but won’t be able to sit the exams till your 18th birthday.

Q Would it help my chances of employment?
A Absolutely. It can if the airline so chooses, replace up to 50% of the safety training they are required to give you and can save them a lot of money. It also shows them that you have already proven your ability to pass professional airline courses and makes you a much safer bet compared with other applicants.This is a real opportunity to invest in your own future!

Q Does it entitle me to fly as cabin crew straightaway?
A No, not quite. Under EASA rules each airline must also train you on their own specific procedures, and the aircraft you will be allocated to.

Q Are all of the airlines recruiting people with the ‘Attestation’?
A Not yet all, but an ever increasing number of airlines are now re-structuring their training programs to allow for applicants who apply with this certificate in place. Holding an Attestation prior to recruitment will be of benefit to you even if your chosen airline does not have a bespoke training plan for Attestation holders.

Q Can I fail the course?
A In theory yes. The course is heavily regulated and all modules must be passed. However, a certain amount of re-sits permissible and unlike some airlines we don’t fail people the first time they fail a module. We are here to support and coach you through. As well as being highly experienced cabin crew trainers and training managers, uniquely some of our staff are also qualified teachers. We are here to help!

Q How else will Flypeople help me find cabin crew work?
A Flypeople are working with a number of airlines and aviation recruitment specialists. We will keep you updated of all cabin crew recruitment via our Facebook page.With your permission we can forward your CV to our contacts who are actively recruiting.

A The course costs €895. This includes all practical training, classroom training and for successful candidates the ‘Attestation’ certificate itself.
