ToUGH TRaiNiNG!!

After passing through those self presentation processed. Now come to the real talented and self intelligence part of tough Training. It took about 6 months completed all the course required by the company; Japanese Language, Aircraft and In-flight Services. There are almost 30 members in my class but we were divided into two classes. But in the end we had only 26 members left to go on the real flight.

We have started from basic japanese lessons, day to day conversation, vocabulary, polite inflight conversation and also japanese culture. Its been a hard time for me and my classmates studied a third language to be able to communicate with a passenger on the real flight professionally! KONNICHIWA! ARIGATOUGOZAIMASU! Everyday, all day writing, speaking, pronouncing japanese words and sentences and a weekly test. Two months after that we started studying our next subject on aircraft types and cabin facilities that we will be flying on. I didn't sleep much at all as I was up all night studying! Not even the lesson and test but also early wake up, late sleep and faced a bad traffic from home to downtown office Monday till Friday continued like that for many months. "What a world!!!! Be patient! Don't give up and determined to succeed!!" I murmuring to myself. The first 3 months was a very tiring time with long hours and lots of studying. But all the hard work paid off as I've passed all of the exam.

There're still a lot of hards ahead of me to pass the next two months of training. The In Flight Services course is very intense and we were being assessed every day by what we are wearing, our hair and make up, attitude, posture, the way we walk and sit etc. We had all our practical training on cabin services side of the job - how to serve the meals, drinks and deal with passengers etc! During that time japansese language being used together with the serving skill which make it more intense . Luckily we had a cabin and galley mock up at the office so we can imaged ourselved serving to the real passengers in the familiarise atmosphere. On the last day of tough training we had given a chance to tried real meal served on the flight, real japanese style food umm!! Six months has flown by and I've made lots of friends on my course. Next be prepared for the first time on board the aircraft not as a Cabin Crew but as a passenger because we had to go and visit the aircraft at the headquarter in Japan to familiarise ourselves with it.
