FLIGHT ATTENDANT SCHOOL
There has been an argument about private flight attendant schools for quite a while!
Pro flight attendant schools
This side believes that it’s a good idea to pay for training prior to being hired by an airline.
Because it should give you more skills you can put on your resume. This should make you more attractive to recruiters. And depending on the training you get, it should be easier to get through the airlines training.
The problem is, I haven’t seen any proof that that’s the case. In fact, I’ve never heard a private school guarantee a job after training. I’ve often heard of graduates NOT getting the job! So there doesn’t seem to be any advantage in paying thousands of dollars for the training.
Against flight attendant schools
This side DOES NOT recommend private schooling at all!
Why? If the applicant hasn’t had any pre-training, the airlines can train them exactly the way they want to, and the applicant doesn’t have to unlearn anything.
It’s also a better deal for the flight attendant candidate. Because most airlines pay for the training and guarantee you a job after successful completion. Saving you thousands of dollars!
My opinion
In the U.S. the hiring airline trains their candidate the way they want them to be trained.
In addition, the airline can invest in training equipment that the private school just doesn’t have access to. Such as pools, plain trainers.
I recommend that you improve your resume by getting experience in the customer service industry, and use your extra money to learn a language and / or get a degree!
