The first part is learning at home with our Study Guide, which we send you when we receive your deposit for the course.  Most people require about 2 weeks to thoroughly learn the material in the Study Guide.  There is a lot of information involved, with some memorization.

When you come to Orlando for class, you will be here for 3 days. 
While you are here we will go over the information you have been studying to ensure your comprehension, then you will be tested on it.  We also teach you interviewing skills which include how to make an airline specific resume what to wear for the interview and communication skills.  We have several practice exercises with group participation and role-playing, then we video tape you to show your progress in the interview.  Recruiters from one or more airlines will be in class to interview students who are interested in working for those respective airlines.

Everything goes by seniority in the airlines.  After you have been there for awhile, you will have the higher seniority required to bid for a regular schedule and it will be somewhat easier to take classes or do other things requiring set times.  But don’t count on doing that for quite some time - it may take months or even years before you are able to do that.  It is best to finish whatever schooling you have in mind before you begin a flight attendant career.

The minimum age requirement for a flight attendant is 18, but you must be 3 months shy of 19 to take OUR course, because only 2 airlines are hiring 18-year-olds right now, because they are too difficult to place.  There are several others that hire 18-year-olds – North American, Mesa, Commuter Air, Colgan, Midwest and Mesaba.  You will not be eligible to interview with any airlines  that have a higher age requirement.

Placement assistance is a MAJOR part of our program.

We provide interviews with recruiters while you are here, and if you are interested in working for any airlines other than those who attend our classes, we help you set up interviews with any other airlines for which you are interested in working.  We will contact airlines for you and refer you as one of our students. You are also given a referral letter from our staff and a Certificate of Completion as part of your graduation packet.  You can make copies of the letter and take them with you to any airline interviews you attend.  The name of Airline Inflight Resources is widely recognized and respected among airline recruiters.  Airlines appreciate receiving our students because they know they have a higher chance of successfully completing their initial flight attendant training.  Everyone wants you to succeed - AIRLINES save money hiring people who are successful in training; WE want you to succeed because it shows that we are doing things right, and YOU naturally want to succeed in your new career!
