Not sure if any airlines look on it as an asset to be honest, and as all airlines operate differently, its best to go for a course in travel, then when of age approach airline interviews with an open mind.

We have had a thread about this topic some time ago, try to do a search.
My personal opinion is that I wouldn't bother wasting money with a CC course. Airlines will do it anyway after they've hired you, and the way they like it. And they will hire you if your profile fits. If they need experienced CC, a course will give you none: it's on the field you gain experience.
If I were you I'd keep my money and focus on sending CVs. And read a book or two about CC careers if really you want to be prepared for interviews. Good luck.

Many years ago I was offered a job at a private college, that offered a diploma in flight studies (or something similar).
After looking into what was offered, I declined the job as I realised that it was just a rip-off for the poor b**tards that were being conned into shelling oot their hard-earned, on a half-promise of a job.
If i were you, I'd follow the previous advice, and wait for a job from an airline, but in the meantime, ensure that you have some experience in a hospitality etc. environment.
Good Luck!
