Flight attendant candidates go through many obstacles before receiving an invitation to attend training. Preliminary screenings, interviews, second interviews and medical exams are just the beginning. Flight attendant training is multiple weeks of non-stop exhaustive lectures, practical exercises, emergency drills, daily study, training flights and exams. You can survive this "boot camp-like" training if you prepare and follow these steps.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Money
  • Healthy foods
  • Exercise routine
  • Study materials
Step1
Save money for flight attendant training. Airlines usually provide accommodations. You must have money for food and other expenses during the training period. Some airlines pay a low wage during flight attendant training programs, but many do not.
Step2
Eat healthy foods and do daily exercise. Training hours can be long and you need to feel your best and have stamina to participate in classroom lectures, emergency drill exercises and hours of daily study.
Step3
Get adequate sleep every night. Being alert during daily training is important. You need to take notes, participate in practical exercises, training flights and frequent exams.
Step4
Study training materials daily. Concentrate on all of the new items you learned for the day. Review items you previously learned. Exams are given frequently. You must maintain high grades to continue the training program.
Step5
Maintain a good attitude. This is the glue that holds everything else together. It's a tough few weeks to get through. Keep in mind it is a short period of time to sacrifice and comes to an end before you know it. The hard work pays off on graduation day. Begin your successful flight attendant career.
