Your six weeks at Flight Attendant School will pass quickly, even though it won’t seem
that way the first few days which are filled with paperwork and introductions. This is a good time to get to know your fellow trainees as you’ll be spending a lot of time with them over coming weeks.

Classes start after you’ve been accepted by an airline. On your first day, you’ll meet your fellow trainees, usually about 25 to a class, and trainers. You’ll be with the same group of people for the entire time.

Your days will pretty much be filled with classes, including graded exams every few days. Evenings are spent at the hotel studying and getting a good night’s rest. You won’t have classes on weekends, but you’ll study then as well as go on observation flights.

After you pass classroom training, you’ll book some hours working flights, called IOE. A trainer will evaluate you and keep track of your hours. Although the final exam and required paperwork varies from airline to airline, you’ll work a flight on a mock up of an airplane and perform regular duties as assigned. You’ll also be assigned an emergency situation which must be passed in order to complete training.

At the end of the six weeks, you’ll participate in a well deserved ceremony and accept your certificate. This is a nice way for family and friends to help celebrate your entry into a Flight Attendant Career. A few years down the road, when you’re a seasoned pro, you’ll look back on this brief time in your career and recall how quickly it passed.
