Getting Hired Isn't the Finish Line:
Passing Airline Training Is

Fewer than 1% of applicants get hired without preparation, and many who do get hired wash out of the airline's 4–6 week training. That's why our program goes beyond interview prep: you'll practice evacuations, safety demos, and jumpseat procedures in our on-site cabin trainer, put out a live fire, and learn from instructors who are current and former flight attendants with over 100 years of combined crew experience.

  • Only FA School with an On-Site Cabin Trainer & FAA-Spec 737 Overwing Exit
  • Live Fire Suppression Drill & Certificate
  • CPR Basics · Instructors Who Are Current & Former Flight Attendants
  • 100+ Years Combined Crew Experience

Questions and Answers
That Helped Other Students

Flight attendant training is a serious step, and clear answers matter. Use these questions to understand your path, reduce surprises, and choose the option that fits your goals.

No, airlines only require a high school diploma or GED, plus either 2 years of customer-facing work experience or 2 years of college. What matters far more is preparation: fewer than 1% of applicants are hired without it, while 96% of TAA graduates receive job offers.
Our Home Study curriculum runs two weeks at your own pace, followed by four intensive in-class training days covering cabin drills, safety demos, CPR, and mock interviews.
Our program prepares you to pass your hiring airline's official certification training. Airlines certify their own flight attendants after you're hired, and our curriculum is built to help you pass that training the first time.
We don't guarantee employment, but 96% of our graduates receive job offers thanks to in-class airline interviews, recruiter access, and lifetime placement support.

Featured on Fox News: The Flight
Attendant School the Media Turns To

Watch the segment and see the cabin trainer, fire drills, and classroom our students train in, exactly what you'll experience in class.
