London, UK  •  15th January 2026

EmPower Flight is launching its new Cabin Crew Attestation (CCA) training course, with four fully funded training places available for UK-based individuals.

Delivered at Oxford Ruskin University, the seven-day immersive CCA programme will be led under the expertise of instructors with extensive airline and commercial operation experience. Committed to integrating sustainable practices throughout the curriculum, trainees will also be equipped with employability skills and offered progression support as part of the course.

Andrew Perkins, CEO, EmPower Flight, says: “Our mission is simple – we want to inspire change and empower the next generation of aviation leaders to think differently, innovatively and more sustainably. Launching our new course with funded spaces is central to our values. We’re removing financial barriers for talented individuals who might otherwise be unable to access aviation careers, helping us widen participation and build a more diverse, representative cabin crew workforce.

“With a growing need for cabin crew and aviation professionals in the industry, we have an active role to fulfil in meeting this demand whilst ensuring our trainees are equipped with the skills they need to lead, and the knowledge to succeed now and in the future.”

Rachel Gardner-Poole OBE, Chief Sustainability and Growth Officer, EmPower Flight, adds: “Our aim is to go beyond the basics of cabin crew training and really equip our trainees from the get-go to consider future technologies and industry developments. In parallel we want to ensure we are also tapping into a pool of talented individuals who may have never pursued a career as cabin crew due to financial burdens.

“On offer is a real opportunity to reap the many rewards of a professional career as cabin crew and learn more than the status quo.”

Applications for the funded programme and CCA course open on 17 January. EmPower Flight is inviting people of all backgrounds with an interest in pursuing a career as cabin crew to apply today. Applicants must have the right to live and study in the UK.
