Sorry, we’re closed until 2022, but we can still help you! Here’s how.
Scroll down and you’ll learn about the basics to getting started in a career as a flight attendant. Working as a flight attendant is one of the most fun and rewarding careers available, although COVID, mask issues, and many instances of bad passenger behavior have brought additional challenges to the job. Putting that aside, it’s a wonderful job or career, depending on how long you wish to work as a flight attendant.
As there are many holidays being celebrated in the coming weeks, we wish everyone happy holidays and a happy and healthy new year!
Check out our Airline Requirements course to give you insight on what to expect, and what the airline expects of you.
The Professional Flight Attendant Academy is like no other!
We focus on one thing, coaching you to improve your interview skills so you can do well during video and face-to-face interviews. Your resume gets you in the door, how you perform during the interview is what gets you hired! That’s why we don’t waste time with safety demonstration practice, airport codes, or the history of the flight attendant. None of that so-called “training” gets you a job offer. Only one thing gets you a job offer, and it’s acing the interview. We use Facetime, Google Duo, or Skype to do our virtual interview.
Our recruitment and interview coaching, which comes with 90-day free access to our online courses, can be bought at any time and only begin when you say, “let’s start!”
Should I go to a week-long school or only go for interview coaching help?
You’re interested in flight attendant schools, but you’re not too sure what’s the right thing to do? It’s very easy to get tricked into spending your hard-earned money on something that sounds helpful but really isn’t, especially when you read, “Recruiters! Fast track! Job placement! Tons of fun! Graduation certificate!”
So you can decide what’s best, pick the path that sounds most like you, and learn the differences in approaches to having a successful interview! One path helps you develop better interview skills, the other helps the school’s bank account. Choose wisely!
I’m lost, someone help me!
Going to a flight attendant school for a week is the right thing to do to get a job offer, I think. I’m really not sure. I don’t know what I should do, so I’m going to tell schools “take my hard-earned money, please!” If this sounds like you, find out what awaits!
I’m confident and know what’s best for me!
I’ve called around and have a good idea of what I need and what I think would be a waste of my time and money, but need a little more information. I want to make the decision for myself, so please tell me what I need to know to make an informed decision. Thank you! If this sounds like you, go down this path!
Why should I pay for flight attendant interview coaching when there are thousands of YouTube videos available about how to prepare for the interviews?
While it is true that there are thousands of videos on YouTube providing flight attendant interview tips, do any of them provide you feedback so you can improve? They don’t, obviously. It’s all one-way information, and not all of it is good. Some videos teach pretty wonky, weak, and sometimes weird “answers” to interview questions. Recruiters know when they’ve got another YouTube self-help video candidate with canned answers that don’t give them insight into who you are. That’s what they’re trying to find out, who are you?
What we do is evaluate everything about you and tell you what you’re doing right, what needs improvement, and what you’re doing wrong. This includes your responses to expected questions, your appearance, body language, diction, and more! We coach you on how to respond to the interview questions based on your work-life experiences, so recruiters get to know who you are and not hear the typical, “this is my dream job! I’ve always wanted to do this, I’m a people person, I love taking care of others!” Those are not the ones that receive job offers.
Pre-COVID, major airlines would receive between 100,000 – 150,000 applicants, but only hire 2,000 – 3,000 people for the year. That means on average, they offer jobs to around 2% – 3% of those that applied. Right now, competition is ever more intense with fewer airlines hiring, and only occasionally. While our interview coaching is focused on getting hired as a flight attendant, the interview skills gained will help you when you interview for any other job, whether it be in aviation management or in a completely different career field. It’s an investment in yourself and your future.
Is flight attendant interview coaching the golden ticket to getting hired?
No business, no flight attendant school can guarantee you get offered a job; only the airline offers jobs. But… getting one-on-one coaching to improve and polish your interview skills will increase your chances of receiving a job offer.
Here’s Donald then, and now.
Back in the mid-1990s, Donald worked many IOM flights departing from Moscow. This young child was emigrating with her family from Russia, leaving everything they had behind to start a new life in the United States. The other photo is of Donald today, an aviation safety expert, presenting at the IATA Cabin Operations Safety Conference in Bangkok, Thailand to over 300+ attendees from 107 airlines around the world!
Students we’ve coached for interviews have been hired by these airlines, most recently Delta!
We don’t expect every customer of ours to write a review, but we sure appreciate it when they do. Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences! Plus, one other thing we offer you that other schools don’t: your privacy. We love hearing about your experience and your successes getting hired! But you probably don’t want your name and photo attached to a flight attendant prep school for the rest of your aviation career. We help get you to the jumpseat; your new skills made your flight attendant career takeoff!
All most people need is individual coaching services for typically one to two hours maximum to help you where you need it most, preparing for the interview. The cost for that time? On average, only between $199.00 – $299.00 total! Fill your mind with interview skills that are useful throughout life without emptying your wallet. We help YOU prepare for the interview so airlines say to you, “Here’s a conditional job offer!”

- We use the keywords that airline recruiters and online screening systems are searching for to make you stand out. We’ll set an appointment with you to go over your experience and then design a revised resume that works for you!
