From someone who already works in the airline industry, I can say that research and being prepared is your biggest helping hand. I'd suggest having a look at some of these guides to help you, otherwise, you might find yourself lacking in what others already know.
I have a course on the 12th, staying in the ibis on the 11th. Well done to anyone who's already got a course! GOOD LUCK!
