This Professional Certificate In Handling Air Passengers: Airline And Airport Operations is the perfect opportunity to get hands-on practice and the soft skills needed in passenger service operations.
MODULE 1:
Handling Air Passengers | The processing of passengers as they pass through airports is high profile and at the core of the travel experience. For many, it will be the first and last contact they will have with airline staff on their journey. You'll develop knowledge of core responsibilities in airport operations in dealing with the increasing volumes of passenger traffic, security restrictions, check-in options, and the demand for punctuality and customer care to deliver competitive and efficient passenger handling. Understanding the processes involved and the mandatory and optional services and facilities available to departing and arriving passengers at airports are key to being able to meet these requirements as part of the travel experience. It is essential to also understand how these are coordinated across the many organizations and stages of the process, including efficient monitoring and management of passenger flows. This module will help you to develop working knowledge and understanding of the facilities and services available to both arriving and departing passengers, how the processes are shared and coordinated across organizations, and put you right in the middle of developing your own operational knowledge and hands-on passenger service skills in various commercial airline and airport roles.
MODULE 2:
Onboard Passenger Operations | The course also provides skills of coordinating onboard operations and the knowledge how cabin crew teams are led in order to maintain industry safety and service standards. You will have the opportunity to see onboard operations from a bird’s eye view and explore onboard cabin operations from the viewpoint of the cabin leader and the flight crew. This will give you an important context for the study of aviation and link to leadership, teamwork and regulatory procedures. You will:
- Demonstrate how onboard passenger operations are coordinated
