When airlines impart their training to all cabin crew members, what kind of additional training is imparted that claim to train cabin crew?

We see only one side of the job that is performed by the cabin crew. However, the major job of these crew members is to keep aircraft and passengers always in safe mode. Even during emergencies. It needs to be noted that safety systems onboard different types of aircraft are different. These differences are not drastic but they exist all the same. During emergencies, the crew is expected to know and operate safety-related equipment without fail since there would be no second chance. Maybe perhaps due to this, the cabin crew is allowed to be current only on two types of aircraft at any given time. This requires additional training that is imparted by the airlines concerned. General training, in any case, is given by the institution conducting the cabin crew course.

As a passenger, one would think that the duties of a cabin crew are limited to serving drinks and food and assisting the passengers in finding their seats and placing their handbags. But that is not even half a part of the real story. What passengers don't see is the other responsibilities on the shoulders of cabin crew members. Usually before a selected candidate can start working as a cabin crew in-flight, they undergo two months of rigorous training with the airline to understand the airline's SOPs. These include training on handling of emergency situations like engine failure, emergency landings, aircraft fire, medical emergencies, handling of threatening passengers, terror strikes, securing the pantry in case of turbulence, handling unruly passengers and the list goes on and on. It is very necessary that cabin crew is up to date with all these procedures at all times and so, apart from the initial training that a cabin crew undergoes, they are also subjected to mock drills on emergency situations once every few months.
