Air Cabin Crew Training (Fast Track)

Overview

Our Fast Track route is for those students who have achieved their Maths & English qualifications. The Fast Track course allows you to complete the course in six months (September until the end of March), so you can be ready to fly in the summer season.

If you would like to work as a member of air cabin crew or part of the airport ground crew team, this course will give you the knowledge and skills you need to succeed.

As a learner you’ll undertake training at the British Airways Training Base at Heathrow Airport, completing a range of practical exercises including emergency evacuation procedures.

You’ll learn aviation operations, airline health, safety and security, emergency procedures, crew room duties and ground operations. In preparation for interviews with airlines, you’ll also participate in an airline mock interview day at one of our local partnership hotels.

Fast Track is for you if you have already gained your Mathematics & English qualifications. If you are in the process of completing your English and Mathematics qualifications, you can still study Cabin Crew here at HSDC, on our full-year programme.
