do you need travel & tourism to become cabin crew on a plane?
ok well im so stuck in between picking travel and tourism or health and social care..
i have plans to become a cabin crew, or cruise ship worker etc whilst im young (im 16 at the moment)
and then when im slightly older and have kids to become a primary school teacher
i dont have a clue what course to pick and im worrying so much as i dont want to regret it..
thanks
Did you not ask this question only yesterday?
My advice would be to think about your career and not just the ‘job’ that you plan to do for a few years. The only educational requirements for most UK-based cabin crew jobs are GCSEs – usually in English and Maths – at grade C and above. Neither your Travel & Tourism or Health & Social Care courses are going to be advantageous when going for a job as cabin crew.
If, however, you are serious about becoming a primary school teacher, then consider university, as I am sure the a degree would be required to teach children. The two courses mentioned above, which are no doubt National Diplomas, are unlikely to get you the career you want.
Kernow Lady, I think your response is a little unfair. On most flights, cabin crew do simply smile and serve you drinks and a bite to eat, but in an emergency, it will be them that get you off of the aircraft quickly and safely. Cabin crew do not undergo hours and hours of training to be just waiters and waitresses.
Cabin crew are waiters and waitresses, why would you need travel & tourism for that.
