Former student proves she's a high flyer
Second year Travel & Tourism students were treated to an inspirational
lesson recently, when a former student returned to College to explain
what it's like to work as a member of air cabin crew for BA.
Nicola Chow completed her AVCE in Travel & Tourism last summer and since
then her feet have barely touched the ground.
Soon after completing her course Nicola was selected to join BA's
five-week intensive training program at Heathrow airport and came to
speak to the students just a few days after returning from her first
flight to Madrid.
Dressed in full uniform, Nicola shared her experiences of training to
work as air cabin crew with the class of students currently considering
embarking on similar careers.
She said: The College course and its reputation definitely helped me get
the job. I found the job advert on BA's website just as I was leaving
College and my tutors helped me apply. At interview stage it was great
to be able to draw on College experiences and what I'd learnt from them.
If you're thinking about working as air cabin crew you need to take into
consideration that the training is hard work. It was like two years of
studying at College packed into a five-week training programme.
