MFALK, yes according to JAR OPS before carrying out the duties of a No1 Cabin Crew, in addition to meeting the basic cabin crew qualifications, a person must have a minimun of one year's experience as junior cabin crew and completion of appropriate course.
Each Company follow their own courses, related mainly to their ops, A/C types, services....
And yes... records of trainings are kept!
Hope this help
