Flight Attendant Pre-employment Diploma Program
The
Flight Attendant Pre-employment training at CTC prepared me for my
actual ‘Zip Air’ training which was to follow. The incredible
support from instructors and other staff members at CTC was
fantastic. I came to the college not knowing a soul, and left with
enough self-confidence and support to get out there and conquer the
world!
I wouldn’t have traded my education at CTC for anything! It was one
of the greater experiences of my life, and a wonderful opportunity
to meet many new friends!
