Testimonial
“Our tutors, all had vast but varied insight into the airline industry, and they were eager to share their knowledge and experiences with us. We studied fares and ticketing, which I found most fun and also Galileo computer reservations. We also had modules on grooming, a necessity in the airline business, as well as interview techniques and preparation and an insight into life as Cabin Crew. By the end of the interview preparation lectures we were all confident at presenting ourselves and 'selling' our CV's!! Something that was to prove extremely useful to me in the hunt for a job. I now work for Emirates as Cabin Crew and am still in touch with my classmates. Working for an airline is all I dreamed it would be and more. I have seen more of the world than I would have imagined. However, I would not be here without the presentation, guidance and skill I learned at Portobello Institute and the tools I gained there which helped me make my dream a reality“

Airline Studies Training Course (Fulltime)

 
     
 
       

The airline industry has undergone a massive overhaul since 9/11 and only those companies who were prepared to reform survived. Increased competition and cheaper airfares have meant that air travel is now much more accessible to everyone which has resulted in a huge surge in the popularity of international travel. In Portobello Institute we have been the market leaders in the delivery of Airline courses for over a decade.

This year we have redeveloped and improved our programme to meet the changing requirements of the industry and the changing needs of the students seeking to study this course.
