EASA has published Initial Training for Cabin Crew guidance outlining the primary training required to qualify as a certified flight attendant on airlines and certain other commercial operations. This guidance provides information to operators and training organizations with the main objective of fostering harmonization by EASA member nations.

Implementation experience has shown that the duration of initial training varies between 50 and 168 hours among member nations, EASA said. To address this variance, the guidance document recommends a “minimum net training time (excluding breaks) for the conduct of initial training of 95 hours.” However, “a certain level of flexibility in determining the hours assigned to each training element can be substantiated by the training provider to the respective competent authority.”
