Recurrent Training Lesson Plan
In order to have an effective and consistent flight attendant training program, an instructor lesson plan is a must. While many, if not most airlines use pre-designed PowerPoint courseware, it is possible that due to operational necessity, changes to the lesson plan will be made. Having a printed lesson plan provides the instructor a reference document to know where they are in the day, the upcoming subjects, if they are ahead or behind schedule, and a way to check off what they completed to know what is remaining. This is essential, especially when more than one instructor is responsible for teaching flight attendant training. It provides a seamless transition between instructors and ensures all subjects are taught, regardless of who is teaching or any changes that occur. While listed as a Recurrent Training syllabus, through copying the fields on one day, you can use the template to create one for your initial training program. Adjust the times and sequence of topics to match your planned training program.
