NordStar Airlines has graduated the first cohort of students from its in-house aviation training center in the Initial Flight Attendant Training program. The training program was developed by NordStar specialists, taking into account current civil aviation regulations and operational specifics.
Today, the first graduating class of flight attendants received their final documents and certificates. In just 288 hours (64 calendar days), the students completed an intensive training program covering the required 18 disciplines, as well as additional skills, such as self-defense fundamentals and an in-flight birth course. The course included both theoretical and practical components, covering key aspects of safety, passenger service, procedures for dealing with disruptive passengers, and emergency response, including the use of VR technology in modules covering land and water rescue training, firefighting, depressurization, equipment checklists, and first aid. The training was conducted by certified instructors and current NordStar flight attendant instructors.
As part of the program, students also completed practical training in the cabin of a NordStar airline aircraft using real operating equipment.
Upon completion of the program, all graduates are invited to join NordStar Airlines' cabin crew team. Immediately after completing their training, the new flight attendants are hired by the airline and have the opportunity to immediately begin their professional careers, applying and honing their acquired knowledge and skills in flight operations. After completing five flights under the supervision of the airline's instructors, they will begin solo flights.
The NordStar Aviation Training Center operates under a license from the Ministry of Education and holds an Aviation Training Center Certificate issued by an authorized body and complies with established professional standards. Its launch is part of the airline's long-term strategy to build a sustainable aviation personnel training system and reduce dependence on external educational providers. In the rapidly changing aviation industry, having an in-house educational facility is not only a strategically sound decision but also an important resource for quickly responding to personnel challenges, developing internal competencies, and adapting training programs to meet modern market demands. The development of its own training center allows NordStar Airlines not only to meet internal personnel needs but also to develop a new business line focused on the external market. Plans include expanding the range of programs, introducing new methods, and training specialists in other aviation fields.
Currently, the aviation training center offers 28 training programs, of which the most extensive and in-demand are:
∙ Initial training program for flight attendants.
∙ Boeing 737NG Type Rating Pilot Training Program.
The flight attendant training program is open to anyone who meets health requirements. Upon completion of the program, students receive a government-issued package of documents, allowing them to continue their career with any Russian airline. For students in the second cohort, NordStar Airlines offers the opportunity to undergo a preliminary interview and, if successful, receive free training followed by employment with NordStar Airlines.
