As many individuals aspire to be cabin crew members it is advisable to attend an ATO who assists individuals with interviewing skills and compilation of CV’s, photographs for their CV’s and cover letters. This will assist the applicant in being better prepared for the interviewing process as many of these learners will be attending their first ever interview.
Do not pay for information sessions on cabin crew member training as the syllabus is available of the South African Civil Aviation Authority’s website or you can attend free information sessions with some ATO’s. It is also a good idea to get this information through blogs, Facebook pages or making contact with learners who have attended the training.
There are many Aviation Training Organisations (ATO’s) in South Africa and you are advised to carefully select the one you choose. Check the credentials of the company you chose to do your training with.
Aviation Training Organisations and schools can NOT guarantee employment. Airline operators advertise, interview and employ their own cabin crew, so be cautious of a crew training school that “guarantees employment”.
Prospective cabin crew members are required to undergo x-rays and a medical assessment which forms part of the licensing process. Have this medical done prior to enrolling for training as this will avoid you paying training fees with an ATO which are normally not refundable should you be found medically unfit. Also check cost of the x-ray and examination prior to committing to a specific laboratory and Doctor.
When searching for a Training Organisation, ensure that the price you are quoted by the ATO is inclusive of all modules and requirements to complete the licensing process. These charges include:
Aviation Medicine Training
Dangerous Goods Training
Fire Fighting Training
Security Training

South African Civil Aviation Authority Examination
