What is the Blended Course?
This Programme consists of the Blended Learning Methodology, including both online theoretical learning which is followed by practical training modules and assessments to be completed at the Academy. This method is ideal for people who may not be able to study full-time or who are currently employed and are unable to take study-leave. Online learning will enhance your knowledge and education, it is a wonderful opportunity for people who normally cannot attend traditional classroom training for reasons such as lack of transportation, accommodation, training fees or the harsh realities of work. Training can be adjusted to fit into your lifestyle, to ultimately gain your Cabin Crew Licence.
There is interaction between the Learner and the Trainer, in order to measure the Learners’ progress. After completion of each Module, there is a comprehensive self-study quiz which needs to be completed successfully prior to progressing to the next Module. There is also a Chatroom available where students and trainers can discuss topics and Zoom meetings can be arranged on the platform. Communication can also take place via e-mail or telephonically.
On successful completion of the theoretical training period, the learners are required to attend a residency period, during which practical training and assessments will take place. Prior to advancing to this section of the training, learners will be required to write and successfully pass the SEPT Test for the Online Learning Component, which will include all relevant modules covered in the online learning component.
On arrival at S.MAB for the residency period, the SEPT Exam will be written – the pass mark is 90%. Should the learner not meet the pass mark requirement, they will be required to undertake refresher training prior to undergoing the residency period.
