Bar Service

  Do you have an outgoing personality?  Are you dedicated, committed and flexible?  Bar staff are employed in restaurants and bars all over the world. Their primary role is to service customers with drinks, and secondarily, food (occasionally other things such as cigarettes and cigars).  In some situations, bar staff may only dispense drinks and snacks such as nuts and potato crisps. In other situations (eg. at a pub), bar staff may be required to take orders for "counter meals", and dispense the meals after they have been prepared by the cook. This course provides foundation knowledge for those attending a bar or working as a drinks waiter or waitress. Through this course you will develop a broad understanding of the industry, become familiar with alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks; learn how to provide service to bar customers, mix a range of cocktails and appreciate a variety of wines.

Cabin Crew Course

  This is the leading online course designed for people who want to become cabin crew. Our cabin crew course is designed in association with leading airlines and works closely with these airlines to get you a cabin crew career once you finish the course. There are more airlines waiting to join the list of partner airlines so it’s likely there will be even more options to choose from very soon. The cabin crew lets you gain a deeper knowledge of the role of cabin crew and it will also be much easier for you to complete the airlines full aircrew training program once you are employed. You can study for the online cabin crew course at your own pace on-line in the comfort of your own home. Ultimately, taking this course gives you a unique competitive advantage. You’ll gain an “edge” over other job seekers in this extremely desirable but ultra competitive industry. It also gives you the confidence you need to impress at interviews because of your ability to talk confidently and knowledgeably about working in the airline industry. Do you qualify for the course? Below we have detailed the most common minimum requirements that airlines specify for new cabin crew: Age 18 + Ability to swim. Good eyesight. Well groomed. The right to live and work in the country which the airline is based. Effectively work as part of a team. Ability to communicate well. Friendly personality. If you are under the minimum age you can still take the course in preparation for when you reach the minimum age. Many students take our course to help them decide whether flying as cabin crew is the job for them. Cabin Crew Course - Success Stories I would like to say thank you to the team for giving me the opportunity to do this very useful course. I gained useful knowledge about the airline industry and can thoroughly recommend the course to any aspiring cabin crew. I have now been accepted by Emirates and I am sure that your course went a long way to helping me get there.. Before I started the course I was a little sceptical about the value of doing the course but when I saw the course content I realised how relevant it was and helped me gain valuable knowledge. I would urge anyone interested in a career as a flight attendant to seriously consider this course. Sincerely, Jennifer Fife – Australia Hi there, Since completing the course, I have gained employment with one of Europe’s biggest short-haul airlines. I have been there for almost two years and after a year of service, I was promoted to Cabin Supervisor. The course structure and resources available were very informative and helped me to gain employment in the job I have always wanted. I really enjoyed the way the course was set out and it gave me an insight to every part of the job. I would recommend the course to anyone that is interested in a career as cabin crew, I completed the course when I was 17 and as soon as I was 18, I applied to numerous airlines and was accepted onto a training course within a month, having completed the CCD diploma I already had an insight to my training, which I passed with flying colours.
