Jet off to a flying career start with a cabin crew Apprenticeship. The skies the limit (literally) with an Apprenticeship in this industry.
Do you want to travel the world whilst earning and learning in the process? No two days are ever the same with different crews, new passengers and fresh destinations to look forward to. As you’d expect, there will be the occasional night stop, there certainly won’t be the average 9-5 finish. But most of the time we’ll get you home every night.
What would your responsibilities include?

- Attending a pre-flight briefing, during which air cabin crew are assigned their working positions for the upcoming flight. Crew are also informed of flight details, the schedule, the number of infants on board and if there are passengers with any special requirements, such as diabetic passengers or passengers in wheelchairs;
- Carrying out pre-flight duties, including checking the safety equipment and security checks, ensuring the aircraft is clean and tidy and that the information in the seat pockets is up to date and that all meals, drinks and stock are on board;
