Level 2 Certificate in Air Cabin Crew NCFE
Get paid to see the world. This course trains you specifically for cabin crew roles: airline, private jet, and beyond. You'll learn in a replica aircraft cabin with tutors who've actually worked in the industry, building the confidence and professional standards airlines look for. If you've always known you want to work at 30,000 feet, this is where it starts.
Got a question? Ask us
You must be 17 or over to enrol on this course
You need to be aged 17 by 31st August in your start year. This is because cabin crew training includes safety-critical content and industry certification requirements.
Turning 16 this year? Start with our Aviation Environment (Level 2) course. It covers how airports and airlines operate, and puts you in the perfect position to move straight onto Cabin Crew the following year.
How you’ll learn
The Full Picture of How Aviation Works
This isn’t just learning about planes. You’ll train in a real aircraft cabin practising safety demonstrations, passenger service, and emergency procedures. Our tutors have real airline experience, so when they teach you how to handle a difficult passenger or manage an emergency, you know it’s how it’s actually done in the air.
You’ll cover everything from in-flight service and making passenger announcements to dealing with dangerous situations and airline security. By the end, you won’t just know the theory. You’ll have practised it in conditions that feel like the real thing. Airlines want candidates who are confident, professional, and prepared. That’s what this course builds.
