Ryanair training course - STN
Hi
I start my training down at STN in May. Just wondering if anyone here has done the course with St James Managemet. And when you do the swimming test, can you swim free style ie on your back? Also does anyone know which bases need the staff the most, I picked EMA/MAD/NRN. I heard EMA is getting another two aircraft in sept and maybe another 3 in spring 08.
Cheers Lee

Hello guys. It's nice to hear that Ryanair is still doing very well,what a surprise... :P
Anyway i was with St james. I know you guys find it hard,and it will get harder everyday. I did my training nearly 1 year ago. Everybody nearly passed apart from about 10... from 50-60 people. Its hard but its only studying. No matter what study as hard as you can. Lie in bed and ask yourself questions when in bed till you fall asleep ! But i have to say im very unpleased how they still treat people.
I paided 1,4 for my training... it was worth it,but i still slapped myself when i saw other airlines actually paying YOU for attenting the training course.
You know you have to pay your uniform etc..? Anyway no more **** talk about ryanair its still a great airline to start for !!!
GOOD LUCK LADIES AND GENTS !!

Hey Claudinho thanks for the info. Can I ask, is the conversion part easier than the initial part? I heard that it was. Also is the exam difficult?

Damn lol. Alot of cabin crew were saying it was easier as its stuff i've already done but going into it in further depth.
Is it more practical stuff like learning how to use equipment or having to learn more drills?
I further understanding would be good to know.

Congratulations on passing your exam 
- from the result you got I think you have nothing to worry about! Try to relax and do your best in class - I am sure you will get through fine. Have your instructors not told you what each part of the course involves?

Thanks
Im afraid not she never told us just that it was "more indepth" about stuff we've done.
i've got alot to get through tonight, overhead locker fire drill, ovens/galley and toilets along with fire equipment PDI's and operation.
Its quite alot just for one day, im wondering if it'll get any easier?
Do any of you guys know what else i'll cover in conversions?
Cheers

why are you surprised?
Commander1
It seems like you should've done some homework before you decided to quit your job. Most people research the company before they apply.
I'm currently looking for a job, so I'm spending every waken moment looking for information about different airlines to make sure I don't get any nasty surprises.
I apprechiate it's a bit late for morals now so you're just gonna have to stick it. About people being unapproachable, well that's Ryanair for you. Think it's bad now? You haven't seen NOTHING yet! You'd know that if you followed step one. And after a while on line you will understand why. Everyone works their ar*es off here, so there's not much left energy for other people's problems.
Finally, noone gets any meals in ryanair, not even the pilots. Heck, I'd be glad if I got a cup of hot water so I can make myself a coffee!
If that's not your cinda company, then maybe it's not too late to rethink.
Good luck!

ps, it's not getting any easier, you'll se when you get online...

Well I hated my job so i wanted to be cabin crew. Im not complaining as such i just want the training to be over.
I really want the job, i want the experiance. I have 2 more days of classroom training left which is evacuation drills landing/ditching i was told its the hardest part of the course. Comments would be appreciated.
P.S I heard stories but i didn't think it would have been that bad but as they say you gotta start somewhere and i have and i am proud of myself i have done very well so far. I just want it over and done with....
And if you had read my previous posts i applied to 3 other airlines in which 2 were full and 1 i wasn't 21 so its a bummer but i'll keep trying i need the experiance.

I would recommend that you don't keep asking people for comments on things from your training course. Why? - well if someone comes back and replies with "Oh yes the next bit you are learning is really difficult, 15 people from my course failed and were booted off of the course" you are going to end up panicking more than you are now!
Relax, chill out and concentrate on everything you need to learn over the next few days, then why not come back on here AFTER you have finished your training and give a blow by blow account of the training course (good bits and bad) which any other Ryanair trainees (or prospective applicants) might find useful.
Then, after you have completed your supernumary flights and have been online for a week or so, come back again with an update on how your first week or so went - again so that any other Ryanair trainees and prospective applicants to get some benefit from your experiences

Well the whole point of this forum is to ask questions good or bad. My trainer isn't very good at giving out information so thats why i took the initiative to ask on here since people are experiance but I wont ask in future then since everyone keeps making a fuss about it. I have every right to be worried, i am not panicking i just want it over and done with. I am putting 110% commitment into this hence no social life blah blah.
Unlike some people i actually ask questions hence i get somewhere.
Im sorry if i seem arrogant but i feel like I cant ask questions on this forum.
I do not beat around the bush..
And by the way, this is my DREAM this is why it means so much to me.

Perhaps if you took the time to actually read what I had said, you would be able to understand that it was intended as a helpful reply and not a rebuke about the amount of questions you have asked.
My post before was because I genuinely felt concern for you, but you obviously are unable to see that!
I do hope that when you are online that you won't react in that kind of way with other CC/Pax/Pilots/Ground staff - chucking toys out of your pram when you have misinterpretted something will get you nowhere at all pretty damned fast!
