IFAC - Initial Flight Attendant Course

Flight Attendants provide excellent customer service to passengers while ensuring their comfort and safety throughout the flight. They are trained to deal with security and emergency situations which may arise and can administer first aid to passengers. Representing an airline as a cabin crew member is a unique and wonderful opportunity.
