Airlines may establish criteria regarding minimum age, education, language skills, ability to swim, physical requirements, appearance and grooming standards, right to work and other factors.<\/p>\n\n<p>For candidates who want to enter the European Cabin Crew market, an important qualification is the <strong>Cabin Crew Attestation<\/strong> obtained following the appropriate initial training under the European aviation regulatory framework.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Do I Need Previous Aviation Experience?<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>No previous flying experience is necessarily required to begin Cabin Crew training.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Many people enter the profession directly from school, university or completely different professional backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n<p>Customer service experience can be useful, but airlines also look for qualities such as communication skills, professionalism, adaptability, teamwork and the ability to remain calm under pressure.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Cabin Crew Training in Greece<\/h2>\n\n<p>Professional initial training prepares candidates for the safety responsibilities of the Cabin Crew role.<\/p>\n\n<p>At <strong>Airline Services Training (AST)<\/strong> in Athens, Cabin Crew education includes subjects such as:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Aviation Regulations<\/li>\n<li>Communication<\/li>\n<li>Human Factors &amp; Crew Resource Management (CRM)<\/li>\n<li>Passenger Handling &amp; Cabin Surveillance<\/li>\n<li>Aeromedical Aspects &amp; First Aid<\/li>\n<li>Dangerous Goods<\/li>\n<li>Aviation Security<\/li>\n<li>Disruptive Passenger Management<\/li>\n<li>Fire &amp; Smoke Training<\/li>\n<li>Survival Training<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>AST has been active in aviation training <strong>since 1970<\/strong> and operates as an approved Cabin Crew Training Organisation in Greece under <strong>EL-CCTO-005<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h2>What is the EASA Cabin Crew Attestation?<\/h2>\n\n<p>The Cabin Crew Attestation is awarded following successful completion of the required initial Cabin Crew training.<\/p>\n\n<p>An Attestation issued in accordance with the applicable European framework can be recognised across EU Member States, allowing holders to pursue Cabin Crew opportunities with European operators, subject to the recruitment requirements of each airline.<\/p>\n\n<p>It is important to understand that there is <strong>no single worldwide Cabin Crew licence<\/strong>.
