Cabin crew training exam tips from people who passed, one tip each
-
#1 Two exam fails on my course, both avoidable. One tip each from people who passed, for the next course.
-
#2 Study the manual wording, not your notes. The questions are written from the manual.
-
#3 Flashcards for equipment locations, one card per item, every night.
-
#4 Say the evacuation commands out loud until your flatmate hates you.
-
#5 Sleep. A tired brain fails a resit that a rested brain passes easily.
-
#6 Instructor: read the question twice. Half the fails are misread questions, not unknown answers.
-
#7 Study group of three, not eight. Eight is a party.
-
#8 Week 3 here: write the door sequence on paper from memory every morning before the grooming check.
-
#9 Teach a topic to someone else on the course. If you can explain it, you know it.
-
#10 Do the practice questions the trainers give you, they are closer to the exam than you think.
-
#11 Purser: know the why behind the procedure, the exam questions test understanding not just recall.
-
#12 Twenty years and now teaching it: the people who fail are tired, late, or studying notes. Fix those three and you pass.
-
#13 Printed and pinned in the training room with permission. Thank you all.
