The sky’s no limit with James Watt College cabin
crew course
James
Watt College has announced plans to create more courses following the success
of its cabin crew partnership with the leading leisure airline, Jet2.com.
28
students are preparing to graduate from the part time course, which has
provided them with the knowledge they need to pursue a career as a member of
airline cabin crew.
The
course provides an introduction to aircraft emergency situations, dealing with
passengers on board on aircraft and making passenger announcements. Students
also learn the foundations of good customer service skills, health and safety,
team-working, communication and aviation terminology.
Travel &
Tourism lecturer at James Watt College, Beverley Hardie, said: “The taster
course was designed with input from Jet2.com and other aviation experts,
which ensured the subjects were up-to-date and relevant. The backing of the
airline also means that all students who qualify are guaranteed an interview
giving them a real chance to get a foot in the door within this rewarding
industry. We’ve already been told that 7 of the learners have been offered
training places, which is great news.”
With the airline
sector continuing to witness growth in the region, the College is now looking
for other airlines and aviation firms to consider training and recruitment
partnerships.
Beverley Hardie
continued: “James Watt College’s location puts it within easy reach of both
Glasgow International Airport and Glasgow Prestwick Airport. That means there’s
a workforce of young people in our area looking to pick up the right skills and
knowledge to provide airlines with the right candidates. We would urge airlines
and other aviation firms to get in touch and consider tapping in to our
expertise.”
Plans are also
underway to continue the Jet2.com course in 2013. Anyone
interested in signing up must be 18 years old by the course completion date,
must have two Standard Grade passes at level 3 or above, be physically fit and
able to swim 25 metres and must be in a possession of a valid passport.
