To become a flight attendant in Moscow, you need to meet the high requirements of this profession and undergo special training for flight attendants. There are two training options: free airline courses or paid tuition at a flight attendant school.
Education
In order to apply for flight attendant courses at an airline, you need to send your questionnaire there, go through an interview and selection. Such courses are free for candidates, except in cases of early termination of training - then the airline will have to pay the compensation cost of the courses. Enrollment in courses involves the signing of an agreement, according to which the candidate undertakes to work for a certain number of years (usually 2-3 years) in the specified airline after graduation. The duration of the courses is about three months. The school day lasts 6-8 hours. For the period of study, candidates are awarded a scholarship. In Moscow, you can take flight attendant courses at such airlines as Aeroflot, Transaero, Siberia.
Another option for training is attending paid courses, after which you do not need to be tied to working out the required number of working hours in a particular airline. After completing such paid training, you can get a job at any airline and change your place of work at any time. These courses are very intensive and take a full day. The cost of a full course of study ranges from 30 to 50 thousand rubles.
