If applications open, I want to become cabin crew for 2026. I see there’s some online ‘cabin crew’ courses,in multiple companies. Would any of these be beneficial and give you a better chance? And if so, which ones would be best? Thank you! :))

    Hi, thanks for your question.

    You don’t need to complete any external or online “cabin crew” courses to apply for British Airways. If you’re successful in the recruitment process, BA provides full training as part of the role, and this is the only training that’s required. Doing paid cabin crew courses with other companies won’t give you an advantage in the selection process and isn’t something BA expects or looks for.

    What is beneficial is focusing on building the right skills and experience. British Airways is much more interested in how you communicate, work with others, handle pressure, and look after people. Experience in any people-facing role, such as hospitality, retail, healthcare, education or customer service, is a great way to prepare. Volunteering, teamwork-based activities, or roles that involve responsibility and decision-making can be just as valuable.

    It’s also really important to research the role properly so you understand the lifestyle, the training, and what being cabin crew actually involves. That preparation will help you far more than any external course.

    You can also find more detail on the Cabin Crew FAQ page here. 

    I hope that helps 😊
