Ground Staff Training Programme

Ground Staff Training Course:

Passenger Ground Handling – Airport based careers

On completion of the passenger handling training, learners will be eligible to apply for ground positions within the aviation industry, and areas could include: Meet and Greets, Check-in, Boarding, Arrivals and / or reservations.  Starting salaries can vary from R4000- R8000, depending on the Airline Operator you work for. Chance of employment is increased as handling agents want to employ staff members who have Airline knowledge.

On successful completion of course, the learner will be presented with an Airport Passenger Handling certificate indicating competence. This certificate is recognised as we provide the learner with updated and current Aviation procedures and knowledge.

Although the training is no guarantee of employment we do have an understanding with some companies to contact us when they require trained staff.

 Aviation General, Codes and Abbreviations, Airline terminology, Travel Documentation, Baggage Handling, Airport Environment – Hazards and Risks & Basic Ticketing
