Training
The AirBorne Cruise Training Center teaches selected crew the skills and attitudes that will empower and prepare them for their new responsibilities onboard. The right training is a win-win for both the cruise line and the crew– enabling crew to meet and exceed guest expectations, win repeat guests, bring in higher revenues, and get promoted more quickly. We aim to provide training that is equivalent to onboard training, at an affordable cost to both our clients and crew.
Our facilities, equipment and syllabus were designed in coordination with AIDA Cruises to simulate their actual ship environments, and include:
- Restaurant & Bar Section
- Culinary Galley Section
- Galley Utility Section
- Housekeeping Mock Stateroom
- Computer Lab - for online learning and testing
- 3 Classrooms
(Each with a 20-student seating capacity and audio/visual systems)
