Is it compulsory to pursue a course to get selected as a cabin crew or can I directly go for an interview?

No, simply no. You do not require any training to get hired as a cabin crew, all your training is conducted by the airline itself. Each airline has its own SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) wherein certain compulsory procedures are same in all the airlines whereas the supplementary procedures vary drastically. Most of the Institutes which provide training for cabin crew do not have enough infrastructure to conduct the training in a realistic environment. DGR (Dangerous Goods), AVSEC (Aviation Security), Evacuation, etc., are some of the basic and most important training which only an airline can conduct in a realistic manner. As it requires proper approval from the designated authority and real-time infrastructure which only airlines can afford. So, you should basically work on your looks, language, communication skills and presentability, to walk-in for any cabin crew interview.

Earlier airlines required candidates with Diploma but nowadays most of the airlines have their own Training facilities and therefore they conduct walk-in interviews for freshers. Requirements for applying as cabin crew The candidate must be 12th pass. The age should be between 21 to 25 years for freshers in most of the airlines. However, 18 years is also minimum age in some Indian careers. The candidate must be fluent in English and should have good interpretation skills. A Diploma in flight attendant / cabin crew is preferred. However, most of the airlines have their own Training programme for freshers. Hotel Management Graduates are also preferred over others. But don't worry if you aren't a hotel Management Graduate. Most of the airlines require pleasing personality, clear complexion (scars, pimples and blemishes not acceptable) and good eyesight. Candidate must possess a passport.

Hello, Once upon a time, there was only Indian Airlines or Air India and nobody else in the aviation sector. In this scenario, a few training establishment survived since employment opportunities were very very limited. After this came the sudden explosion in licensed carriers in India and consequential rise in the requirement of cabin crew. Here the change occurred from Air Hostess to Cabin Crew since perhaps enough suitable young girls were simply not available. This gap was filled up by opening sector to you boys and name got changed to CC! With enough institutes churning out quality cabin crew, carriers were taking on these young boys & girls under their wings. But few airlines still opted for raw talent to be trained in-house. This perhaps continues to some extent.To conclude, it can be said that training perhaps is not must, be sure and definitely is desirable.

Earlier, the airlines did not have their own training facilities and there was a need for the candidate to apply for a job only after completing a cabin crew resource training programme. But with the rise of new airlines and their limitless expansions, most of the airlines have come up with their own training centers as it is easier that way to train the aspirants as per their standard operating procedures. So most of the airlines nowadays have regular walk-in interviews for freshers who have not done any course related to the airline industry. The requirements for these walk-in interviews are that a person has to have cleared 10+2 and should have good English speaking skills. The candidate should also have flawless skin without any marks or pimples and should not have any visible tattoos. Having done a course for the post of a cabin crew may be an added benefit but is not at all a requirement.

As per my experience, I completed 10+2, and directly went to the walk in interview for the airline. There were many options for Training academy who train you for interview preparation and personality development. It completely depends upon you. If you know that you are lacking in certain area, you can always opt for such training which will cost 50,000 INR minimum for the entire course.
