Prepare for this selection
Read the posting in full before applying: the conditions (minimum age, languages, right to work in the base's country, CCA or equivalent training) are set by the airline and vary from one to another.
The CCA is required to work as cabin crew. Depending on the airline, it is required before applying or issued at the end of the airline's own initial training: the posting says which.
Selection usually has several steps (online application, tests or interview, sometimes a group assessment day). Prepare an up-to-date CV in English, a precise reason for choosing this airline, and practise spoken English and situational exercises.
