About EPT Aviation Training

EPT Aviation Training is a SACAA accredited Aviation Training Organisation. We have been training Cabin Crew, Flight Attendants, and Air Hostesses for over 12 years, and each year hundreds of cabin crew members graduate from our training academy with a SACAA cabin crew member license. Majority of our graduates are currently flying for several international and local airlines.

Course Details

Our cabin crew licensing course covers all the training modules required by the South African Civil Aviation Authority for the licensing of cabin crew members. This programme is designed for initial applicants for cabin crew licensing as well as re-qualification for holders of a SACAA cabin crew license. We have a fully operational cabin simulator at our training premises which allows learning to take place in a lifelike/simulated environment. Our aircraft visits are more frequent than the legislation requires.
