Fantastic guided tour of #harrogate today. Well done to all the level 3 year 2 group it was a great tour and a great day. On next to #saltaire this Friday 👍

On Tuesday 4th March, a group of our students went on a day trip to Belfast from LBA, once they had arrived at the airport they had a VIP tour of the Airport grounds including Airside Operations, the Fire Station, inside the Baggage Area and the Arrivals Hall. The group then had a lovely self ...guided tour at the Titanic Museum followed by a lecture about survival in the sea which covered ditching of an aircraft before heading back home in the evening.

Last week our students enjoyed a day out @skypeopletraining . Immersed into the roles and responsibilities of Cabin Crew. From operation of doors, a seminar on safety procedures, fighting fire and learning how to survive a ditching before finally jumping down the aircraft slides. A great day of ...enrichment was had by all from the delivery of the lovely trainers at Skypeople.
