THE ONLINE TRAINING AND MENTORSHIP TO BECOME
A PRIVATE JET FLIGHT ATTENDANT

You hold a CCA, have cabin experience, or come from premium hospitality. What you are missing is training in on-board service, Silver Service included, and the way in. Our job: give you both, then maximise your chances of being hired by a private operator, until your first flight.

Who the Mentorship is for

ANY ONE OF THESE THREE BACKGROUNDS IS ENOUGH.

AN INDUSTRY SHORT ON TALENT

DEMAND FOR THIS PROFESSION HAS NEVER BEEN HIGHER.

+14.9%
growth in new business jet deliveries in Q1 2026: every aircraft delivered needs a crew
23,000+
business jets in service worldwide, a fleet growing faster than the pool of trained crew
+3.5%
growth in private jet flights worldwide in the first half of 2026, a record level of activity

Operators say it themselves: the fleet is growing faster than the pool of qualified crew. And VIP Flight Attendant ranks among the most in-demand aviation roles of 2026. There are durably more positions than prepared profiles: those who master the codes of service on board get to choose their opportunities.

If you are here, it is because…

YOU ALREADY FLY. PRIVATE AVIATION IS ANOTHER JOB, AND IT CAN BE LEARNED.

The CCA (Cabin Crew Attestation), or its equivalent in your country, got you into the airline cabin. In private aviation, it is not what makes the difference: the codes of private service and the network are. Most cabin crew who write to us recognise themselves in one of these two profiles.

Profile 01

You fly for a legacy, low-cost or regional airline

You know the cabin, safety and passengers. Business aviation is another job: different standards, different expectations, different pay.

  • Move from mass service to VVIP service
  • Master the Silver Service and private protocols
  • Translate your airline experience into a private aviation file
  • Discover working conditions on another level
Profile 02

You fly long-haul, in the Gulf or elsewhere, and you are thinking about what comes next

Emirates, Qatar, Etihad or another carrier: you have premium service in your hands. What you are missing is the door into private aviation, its codes and its people. You leave nothing before you are ready.

  • Turn First Class experience into a private aviation asset
  • Know the operators, their bases and their contracts
  • Prepare every interview with people who went through it
  • Back to Europe or staying abroad: a plan built around your life
Profile 03

You hold a CCA, but you have never flown

You passed the CCA, then the airlines were not hiring, or life decided otherwise. Your attestation is still valid, and private aviation asks for neither seniority nor flight hours: operators train their crew on their own aircraft.

  • Learn the private standards directly, without going through an airline first
  • A file built on service, not on the number of hours
  • The operators who take a first private cabin posting
  • Support all the way to that first flight, precisely

In every case, you are missing the same thing.

Not cabin experience, you already have it. The codes of private service, a file that speaks them, and people who know the operators and do not let you go at the first rejection. That is exactly what we do here.

What you walk away with

BY THE END OF THE PROGRAMME, CONCRETELY.

You master private service. Silver Service standards, from table setting to protocol, and you can demonstrate them in interviews.

You understand the whole industry. Operators, contracts, salaries, codes: you know who to apply to, how, and what can be negotiated.

You maximise your chances of landing the job. A CV with private aviation codes, targeted applications, every interview prepared with us.

You arrive ready for your first flights. The gestures, protocols and attitude expected from day one, to turn the trial period into a contract.

You join a profession that travels. Rotations across the world, hotels and transport covered by the company.

You are never alone. Individual mentorship from the first call to your first flight.

Compare before you choose

SILVER CABIN VS TRADITIONAL TRAINING: THE DIFFERENCE SHOWS AFTER.

Most candidates think the hardest part is completing a training programme. In reality, the hardest part begins once it ends: who to send your CV to, how to contact operators, what salary to accept, how to stand out. Our programme is built to answer those questions too.

The team

A WHOLE TEAM BY YOUR SIDE.

Sixteen years ago, no one showed us the way. It took us years to learn codes that no one publishes. This programme is the one we wish we had received. Human, caring, judgement-free mentoring: a safe place where every question belongs. You are followed individually, with a team present five days a week, from the first call to your first flight.

A FEW WORDS FROM THE CREW.

Rachel Rigueur, trainer at The Silver Cabin Institute

"When I started, nobody explained how you get into private aviation. I learned on board, by watching, by getting it wrong. What I wish I had before I started was someone to tell me what an operator really expects, and what a day on board looks like before you live it. That is exactly what I do with you now. I fly a lot as a freelancer, from one operator to the next, and that freedom comes from knowing how to do the job."

Rachel Rigueur · Trainer · Global Jet, Skyfirst, Jet Magic, Flexjet, Avcon Jet
Sabah Dridi, head of community at The Silver Cabin Institute

"Looking for a job is often long and silent. You apply, you wait, you never know what is wrong, and you end up doubting yourself. That is why I want this programme to be a place where you can say anything, ask the question you think is silly, and come back after a rejection. People feel alone when they are searching; here you are not. And the confidence that gives you is exactly what an interviewer hears in your voice."

They were in your shoes

THEY TOOK THE LEAP. TODAY, THEY FLY.

"

I come from fine dining, and I thought aviation was a different world. Turns out my service experience was exactly what they were looking for. I was just missing the preparation and the private aviation standards. A few months later, I was on my first flight.

MathieuFormerly fine dining, now in business aviation
"

I was a commercial airline flight attendant for years, and I thought I already knew the job. But business aviation is a whole different world. I learned the real standards of private service, the ones you never see at a regular airline. That is what made the difference.

TinaFormer airline flight attendant, now in business aviation

Before, I had an ordinary job, and I was slowly fading. I did not dare imagine starting over. Today, I make a living from this profession, I travel, I finally feel where I belong. It is not just a job I found, it is a new life.

InèsCareer changer, now flying on private jets

I worked seasons on yachts and wanted to move to jets without knowing where to start. The programme gave me the method, the vocabulary, and above all the confidence in interviews. Today I fly, and I know exactly what I am doing on board.

Business aviation cabin crew: flight attendants from diverse backgrounds

There is no single profile for this job. There are those who are trained for it.

You come from premium hospitality

HOTEL, RESTAURANT, YACHT: YOUR EXPERIENCE COUNTS ON BOARD.

A background in premium hospitality is accepted on the same footing as a CCA or cabin experience. Looking after demanding guests, serving at the table and staying discreet for hours is already the heart of the job on a private jet. What is left to learn is the cabin, and that is what the Mentorship gives you.

Luxury hotels

You have worked in a palace or five-star hotel

Front desk, concierge, room service, the suites floor: you know how to anticipate a request and handle a guest who does not wait. A jet owner expects the same, in a cabin a few metres long.

  • Learn cabin safety and in-flight emergency procedures
  • Run your service from a galley, with an oven and no kitchen
  • A file that presents your hotel experience to operators
Fine dining

You have served in a Michelin-starred or fine dining restaurant

You know how to lay a table, serve at the plate, present a wine and suggest a pairing. On board, those are exactly the gestures expected, in flight and in a small space.

  • Silver Service on board, spoon and fork held in one hand
  • Caviar, champagne and cheese served the private aviation way
  • A full meal prepared and served from the galley, at altitude
Yachting

You have worked as a stewardess or chief stew on a yacht

You know owners, long rotations, bespoke service and total discretion. On a jet it is the same clientele, with an even smaller space and safety rules specific to aircraft.

  • In-flight safety and the CCA: what you need, and when
  • Adapting your service to a cabin and to the length of a flight
  • The operators to present your background to

You already have the service. What is left is the cabin.

You do not need a CCA (Cabin Crew Attestation) to start the Mentorship. It becomes mandatory as soon as you fly as cabin crew on a commercial flight in Europe, which is the case for operators who charter out their aircraft. During the call, we look at when and where to take it, so it does not hold you back when interviews come.

Your questions

YOUR QUESTIONS, OUR ANSWERS.

Is the industry really hiring?

Yes, and it is one of the few segments of aviation that is actually expanding. Business aviation has been growing steadily for years: fleets are getting bigger, new operators keep launching, and private clients are ever more demanding about the quality of service on board. As a result, the demand for cabin crew trained in private service is real, and it far exceeds the number of genuinely prepared candidates.

I already fly for an airline. What does the Mentorship add?

What the airline never taught you: private service (Silver Service, protocols, what an owner or a family expects on board), how private operators actually hire, and a file that translates your airline experience into their language. Then targeted applications and the preparation of every interview you land, until your first flight. The large majority of the people we mentor were already flying for an airline when they joined us.

What certification will I receive?

Upon completion of your assessments, you receive the VIP Flight Attendant & Silver Service Certificate, issued by The Silver Cabin Institute. It attests to what you can actually do: serve on board, set a table to private aviation standards, host demanding clients, handle the unexpected. It is a document you attach to every application, and it immediately sets you apart from unprepared candidates.

I don't have a CCA (Cabin Crew Attestation). Can I join the Mentorship?

Yes. You do not need a CCA (Cabin Crew Attestation), or its equivalent, to start the Mentorship. It becomes mandatory as soon as you fly as cabin crew on a commercial flight in Europe, which is the case for operators who charter out their aircraft. If you do not have it yet, we look together during the call at when and where to take it, so that you hold it by your first interviews.

I come from hotels, fine dining or yachting. Is the Mentorship for me?

Yes. A background in premium hospitality, in a palace, a fine dining restaurant or on a yacht, is accepted on the same footing as a CCA or cabin experience. You already know how to look after demanding guests and serve at the table. The Mentorship teaches you what is specific to aircraft: cabin safety, working from a galley, Silver Service in flight, and a file that presents your background to operators. To fly on commercial flights in Europe you will also need the CCA, and we talk about it on the call.

I have flown a cabin, but I do not hold the European CCA. Does this apply to me?

Yes, fully. If you have flown for an airline on a certification issued by an authority other than Europe, you have exactly what the Mentorship assumes: cabin experience, safety, passengers. Private operators do not hire on the title of a document, they look at your time on board, your service standards and how you present yourself. We build your file on that, and on the very first call we tell you whether an equivalence or a formality is worth doing for your base.

I have a CCA but I have never flown. Is that a problem?

No. Private aviation asks for neither seniority nor flight hours: operators train their crew on their own aircraft, and what they look at is service standards and how you present yourself. Your CCA (Cabin Crew Attestation) shows the safety fundamentals are there, the rest is learned here. We then build your file on service and on what you did before aviation, not on a number of hours.

Is there an ideal profile for this job?

No, and it is one of the industry's most stubborn myths. Private aviation does not hire based on a checklist of personal traits: it looks for poise, composure, discretion, and mastery of service. The paths that succeed in this profession are extremely varied, and experience gained elsewhere often becomes a real asset with a demanding clientele. What counts is demonstrated skill.

Do I need to speak English?

Yes, conversational English is essential, as it is the language of the industry. You do not need to be bilingual, but you must be able to hold a real conversation.

If you are not there yet, it is not a dealbreaker: we have a partnership with a qualified English teacher we regularly work with. She offers, as an option and depending on your level, a programme to follow alongside the training, also remotely. We discuss it during the call.

I already work full-time. Is it compatible?

Yes, and it is actually the case for most of the people we mentor. The programme is fully remote and self-paced: you move forward when you can, in the evening, between rotations, on weekends. Our exchanges and sessions adapt to your schedule, even irregular ones. Nobody needs to quit their job to prepare.

Is it compatible with family life?

Yes, very much so. Many business aviation professionals have families and children: it is common, and above all a matter of organisation. Trips come in waves of a few days, followed by rest periods often longer than at commercial airlines. We talk about it honestly during the call, to see how it fits with your life.

How much time do I need to commit?

The training runs at your own pace, anytime, anywhere: it is designed to fit alongside a full-time job. Platform access is unlimited: the content stays available to you, without usage limits. And once your training is complete, every interview you land is prepared with the team, unlimited.

How does enrollment work?

It all starts with a simple 15-minute phone call, free and with no commitment. We get to know each other, answer your questions, and check together that the programme fits your project and your season of life. If it does, you choose your starting session and reserve your spot. Nothing like an exam: just a real, honest conversation, both ways.

Can I follow the programme from abroad?

Yes, from anywhere in the world. The programme is fully remote, and our exchanges adapt to your time zone.

Do you guarantee a job at the end?

No, and we prefer to be honest: nobody can guarantee a job, which depends on third-party employers, current openings, and your own work. In fact, be wary of anyone who promises you a position.

Here is what we do commit to. You leave with your VIP Flight Attendant & Silver Service Certificate, which attests to what you can actually do and immediately sets you apart from unprepared candidates. You leave with a CV rewritten for private aviation, the sourcing contacts, and the standards recruiters expect from the very first interview. When a need we come across on board matches your profile, we put you in touch, without making it a promise. And we stay by your side all the way to your first flight, for up to one year.

The certificate opens the door. The rest, we do together.

Is the training intensive?

No, and that is by design. The training is fully asynchronous: no fixed class times, no way to fall behind. The programme runs at your own pace, from your phone if you like. The only date that matters is your session start date, at the beginning of each month. Then: the training at your own pace, and the interview guarantee to get there.

Why not prepare on my own with what I can find online?

You can try, and some people do for years. The problem is not motivation: it is that the real information is not online. The standards of private service, what recruiters actually expect, the operators that are hiring. What you find for free leads you where everyone else already goes. This programme exists precisely to train you in what cannot be found anywhere.

What makes you different from other trainings?

Three things. Your trainers are still flying today: what we teach you, we practise on board every week. You are mentored one-on-one, never lost in a group. And we do not disappear after the last module: support continues until your first flight. Most trainings sell content. Here, you have a team.

Are there any costs beyond the programme?

No. The price includes everything: all the modules, the mentoring, the corrections, the interview prep video calls, the booklets, the certificate, and the individual follow-up until your first flight. The only optional extra, if you need it, is the English programme with our partner teacher.

What happens after the call, concretely?

If together we decide to move forward, you choose your session, we send you the agreement, and your spot is reserved upon the first payment. You receive your access when the session starts. And if it is not the right time, we tell you honestly, with no follow-up pressure: you walk away with a clear picture, that is all.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes, several installment options are available, with no complicated paperwork. We discuss them during the call.

What does the Silver Cabin Institute Mentorship include?

Our mentorship means you are not alone after your training. ✨ We help you prepare your professional Business Aviation CV and cover letter, and we guide you through your applications. We also share with you the openings we see in the industry, and we help you understand where and how to apply.

When you get a job interview, we prepare that interview with you, for every opportunity you get during your mentorship. We practise together, give you feedback and help you improve before the real interview. Our team includes Business Aviation professionals with recruitment experience, so we understand what companies are looking for and what can make the difference during an application or interview.

We are here to guide, prepare and support you throughout your journey into Business Aviation, all the way to your first flight. 🛩️

Do I need to live in Paris, Geneva or London?

No. Operators position crew from wherever they live, with flights paid, and bases span all of Europe and the Gulf. The mentorship itself is entirely remote: video sessions, application reviews and interview preparation, wherever you are.
