EPT Aviation Training is proud to announce that we were the first Aviation Training Organisation to be accredited by the SACAA to offer a Cabin Crew Member Licensing Programme which utilises Online / Blended learning methodology.
Offering an alternative approach to our courses, and designed to take maximum advantage of the latest technologies for online learning. We combine online and classroom training to allow you to study in your "spare time".
This part-online programme is based on our accredited South African Civil Aviation Authority licensing course, and is offered in addition to our traditional courses for flight attendant training.
Online Learning will enhance your knowledge and education allowing you the opportunity to advance your career into the aviation industry without the need of you quitting your job. It is a wonderful opportunity for people who normally could not attend traditional classroom training for reasons such as lack of transportation, accommodation, training fees or the harsh realities of work. This method of learning enables a learner to fit their studies around their lifestyles.
The blended learning programme for the licensing of cabin crew consists of an online learning component followed by practical training and assessments. It is recommended that learners spend approximately 268 hours, online, on the relevant theoretical modules. In order for the learner and the trainer to gauge the learners’ progress, there are comprehensive self-study quizzes at the end of each module which need to be completed successfully prior to progressing to the next module. There is constant interaction throughout the theoretical modules between both the learners and the trainer by means of group discussion forums. Communication can also take place via email or telephonically.
On successful completion of the theoretical training period, the learners are required to attend a 2 week residency period, during which practical training and assessments will take place. Prior to advancing to this section of the training, learners will be required to write and successfully pass the Controlled Test for the Online Learning Component, which will include all relevant modules covered in the online learning component. Should the learner not meet the 90% pass mark requirement, they will be required to undertake refresher training prior to undergoing the 2-week residency/practical period.
Cabin Crew Members were initially referred to as Cabin Boys, Air Hosts, Air Hostesses, Stewardesses, Stewards, Flight Attendants.
