The Inflight Institute.com was founded in 1999 by Mr. I. Noel. His vision was to allow potential Flight Attendants a chance to experience a "virtual" airlines ground school to see if they were suited for the career. He noticed that a significant percentage of students within airline's ground schools were not succeeding. This was due to a lack of preparation and knowledge before entering ground school. Since then thousands of students have succeeded with the help of the Inflight Institute.com
In life there are no guarantees. The successful completion of a certificate course through the Inflight Institute.com will help to put you in the front of the line when it comes to being considered for an interview with our member airlines.
