Maximize Your Cabin Crew Training Goals with Advanced Distance Learning Solutions

In CPaT’s presentation, “Maximize Your Cabin Crew Training Goals with Advanced Distance Learning Solutions” we will discuss how to use eLearning development tools for Cabin Crew training as an alternative to in-person classroom training. CPaT will demonstrate how using today’s modern solutions, Cabin Crew Distance Learning provides efficient, high-quality training for your Cabin Crew members while reducing cost to your Airline or Training Organization. Since the global pandemic, a once less adopted form of training (distance learning) has not only become more widely adopted but has become more of a “norm.” How can organizations capitalize on this type of training method without sacrificing the quality of their training or safety?

This presentation will discuss how distance learning not only meets the quality of traditional in-person training but can exceed the quality of training through an enhanced learning experience for the students.

CPaT will present which Cabin Crew training courses can adopt distance learning vs. in-person, instructor-led training, and still meet regulation requirements.
CPaT will walk through how students can gain a deeper understanding of training content through self-paced learning and the standardization of material, subject matter, and quiz and testing modes.
Finally, CPaT will demonstrate how adopting distance learning methods for training Cabin Crew members can train students more efficiently, while reducing significant cost.
