EPTAviation.com - SACAA ACCREDITED CABIN CREW MEMBER & FLIGHT ATTENDANT TRAINING
Welcome to EPT Aviation
"OUR TRAINING ORGANISATION BOASTS WITH A 100% PASS RATE FOR LEARNERS WRITING THE SOUTH AFRICAN CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY EXAMINATION"
Western Airlines (1928) and Pan AmericanWorld Airways (Pan Am) (1929) were the first US carriers to employ steward to serve food on an aircraft. Prior to the first airhostess being employed, pilots at times, acted as cabin crew members. The first female airhostess was a 25-year old registered nurse named Ellen Church who was hired by United Airlines in 1930. Other airlines followed suit hiring nurses to act as air hostesses of flight attendants on most of their flights. In the United States, in the 1930's this career was one of the few which allowed women to apply. This led to 2000 women applying for 43 positions with Transcontinental and Western Airlines in December 1935. Today it is still a sought after career.
This career was initially referred to as Cabin Boys, Stewards/Stewardesses, Flight Attendants, Air Hosts / Hostesses and since becoming a progessional licensed career, it is now referred to as "Cabin Crew Members".
EPT Aviation Training is a South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) and TETA (Transport Education and Training Authority) accredited training organisation which provides specialised training solutions in various areas of the aviation industry and related fields.
Our courses will be presented throughout the year in a friendly learning environment and will be conducted by professional trainers who have trained for South African Airways as well as for may other National and International Airline Operators. We strive to maintain an ongoing relationship with each of our learners even after qualifying from our organisation and will provide the necessary support as they advance in their career paths. Our classes never exceed 15 learners per trainer which allows for individual attention.
Although EPT Aviation Training started out as a training organisation specialising in cabin crew member licensing, public demand has allowed us to increase our scope of training into many soft skill areas.
Our learners bear testimony to the success of our training programme, many of whom are currently employed by some of Africa’s leading airlines.
