What you need to know about the Highfield Level 3 End-Point Assessment for Cabin Crew

Who is this Standard for?

This apprenticeship is for individuals working as a part of the air cabin crew team. The role of an air cabin crew member is to primarily ensure customers safety at all times whilst on board the aircraft. They also provide excellent customer service to customers throughout the flight. They are trained to deal with security and emergency situations which may arise and can administer first aid to customers.

Cabin crew are required to adapt to the needs of a wide range of individuals and customers and will need to understand how their needs can be accommodated. This may be from supporting nervous customers, individuals with young children, and those with special dietary or medical requirements. Some cabin crew may work as part of the armed forces, providing services for Royalty, Ministers and other dignitaries.
