You are all going to be sick of me soon... Sorry...
I have spent the last couple of days looking over available training in the market for cabin crew within the private/corporate world. A lot of what I have found is based in the US, and of course caters to requirements of the different operation types within the US.
I have found training to be limited within Europe, and what there is, expensive.
I know, and fully appreciate, that when I make the move to your world and leave my scheduled/commercial life behind, my "role" onboard changes. I no longer place the safety related role at the top of my skills like, but at the bottom after my service, food and organisation skills. I also know that the some operators won't be bothered if you have any formal safety training or not, and won't pay for it. The occasional company may prefer it, look for it within applicants and even pay/put towards it. However I am not counting on that being the case.
After some communication with TAG at FAB, I have been looking at their information they have sent and have been rather impressed with the content, and the cost, of a 7 day "Initial" course covering a little bit of everything. Very similar to what I have done within my current airline, just attested by a different body. My BA training in terms of safety/fire fighting/medical/security won't mean anything outside BA.
So, after all that typing... What is the general feeling about TAG Ground Training? Anyone have experience of them?
Sorry again for all the questions.
