In past installments we wrote about Guíhow to be a pilot, On this occasion, the Guíto be a Passenger Cabin Crew or incorrectly called Hostesses or Hostesses in Ecuador. Hereí meetás los requisitos, costos y cómo es el proceso para obtener la licencia de Tripulante de Cabina de Pasajeros de aerolínea y cómo conseguir trabajo en esta área.
Before starting, hay que aclarar el nombre correcto para aquellos profesionales del aire que se encargan del bienestar y seguridad de los pasajeros en un avión. Comúnmente llamados “stewardesses or stewardesses, airplanes o flight attendant“, pero técnicamente equivocado, ya que en aviación el nombre correcto es TCP – Crew cabin.
¿Cómo ser Tripulante de Cabina?
Te vamos a contar el único proceso que debes conocer y seguir si quieres cumplir tu sueño de ser cabin crew:
Paso 1 – The call:
an aerosolínea hace un llamado para Tripulantes de Cabina, este llamado generalmente lo hacen vía medios masivos. Today in Día se usa mucho el sistema de aplicar vía la páairline websiteínea y una empresa de RRHH se contacta para hacer el primer acercamiento.
Cabe indicar que la única forma de obtener una licencia de Tripulante de Cabina, es realizando el curso oficial con una aerolínea. There are schools that offer courses, pero estas ofrecen la experiencia de lo que es la capacitación de los tripulantes, but it does not imply an advantage and less an official license.
Realizar el curso en una escuela de tripulantes no es obligatorio y tampoco garantiza una ventaja al momento de participar en un proceso de selección.
Having said that, el curso que debes seguir es el que brinda la aerolínea y que únicamente tienes acceso si eres seleccionado dentro de un proceso de reclutamiento oficial de una de estas empresas.
Paso 2 – Exámenes de ingreso:
Applicants who have been pre-selected, to beán llamados por la aerolínea o empresa de reclutamiento para que los mismos realicen exáenglish menusés y exáless psychoólogic.
Paso 3 – Interviews:
Subsequently, los candidatos que pasaron los exáenglish menusés y psicológicos serán llamados por la aerolínea para que estos se entrevisten personalmente con los respectivos Jefes de Área, how canía ser Recursos Humanos o Tripulantes de Cabina.
in this interview, among other points, the airínea verificará si el candidato puede trabajar en equipo y bajo presión.
Paso 4 – The course:
Los candidatos que fueron finalmente seleccionados para ser parte de la aerolínea, receiveán conocimientos de aviación, service and security (grandfather'són y de emergencias), first aid, emergency classes, deslizamiento por tobogán. The course lasts approx. 3 months and hay muchas evaluaciones cada semana.
Al final del curso se realizará a demonstrationón de una evacuación en agua o ditching (this is a requirement of the DGAC).
Paso 5 – operational experience:
Una vez terminado el entrenamiento y se cumpla y aprueben con los exámenes médicos que se detallan más down, el aspirante obtendrá la licencia de Tripulante de Cabina otorgada por la autoridad aeronáutica y empezará su experiencia operacional.
In the beginning, el nuevo Tripulante participará en horas de vuelo de prueba como extra crew, where to beá evaluado y calificado hasta finalmente entrar a línea, where to flyá normalmente en las operaciones de la aerolínea.

¿Cuánto cuesta ser Tripulante de Cabina?
Esto depende de cada aerolínea. Airbus press photo We start a review of the most important news, some charge for completing the initial crew course, that borders the $3.000 dólares up. Mientras que hay otras aerolíneas que no cobran por formarte y entrenarte como tripulante.
This informationón la tendrás al inicio del proceso de selección.
¿Cuánto gana un/a Tripulante de Cabina en Ecuador?
All Aerolsíneas tienen un sueldo básico entre los $400 and $800, más horas de vuelo o millaje. further, hay adicionales por viáticos si tienes vuelos afuera de la base o aeropuerto donde fuiste asignado por la aerolínea originalmente.
Other additional income, que dependen de cada aerolínea, son bonos por alimentación, transport, etc.
I couldíamos decir que en Ecuador un Tripulante de Cabina gana desde $800, to a Cabin Chief who can earn between $1500 and $1800, todo dependiendo una vez más, de cada aerolínea.
¿It is fácil convertirse y ser Tripulante de Cabina?
Mucha gente piensa que el trabajo del Tripulante de Cabina de Pasajeros es fácil y que no es de importancia, But the reality is different. Es un puesto operativo que es muy demandante y que requiere de muchos sacrificios como días fuera de casa, horarios rotativos y muchas veces incómodes, but above all, It is a very responsible position..
Convertirse y ser Tripulante no es fácil, pero es un trabajo muy satisfactorio y nada monótono, que te permitirá conocer muchos lugares y gente, but it takes effort, to be on time, tener mucha predisposición y disciplina.
Agradecimiento especial a los Tripulantes que ayudaron con la elaboración de esta Guía y compartieron su experiencia.
My son turned 19 years old and is 1'63 tall, only a bachelor's degree if it can be where it should be the crew course
Hi Norma, the course must be taken if you are selected in the airline selection process only.
Hello Nicolás my name is Michel mido 1.70 I have 19 years will it be that I can be a stewardess?
No problem really with that height, as long as you can get to the overhead bins no problem.
Good morning, I want to know if I need any non-visible dental piece, it is possible that I could be a flight attendant
shouldn't be a problem, but better if you fix it.
Good afternoon, where can I take flight attendant courses?? Kind regards
In the airlines when they make calls.
Hello I AM A GIRL WHOSE DREAM IS TO BE A STEWARDESS AND TRAVEL TO DIFFERENT PLACES BUT I THINK IT IS SOMETHING VERY HARD THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO DUE TO MY LACK OF ECONOMIC RESOURCES AND EVERYTHING BUT IF I GRADUATE FROM SCHOOL AND THEN HOW WILL I DO THE COURSE HOW MUCH DOES IT COST OR DO YOU HAVE TO PAY OR SOMETHING
You must apply to the calls of the airlines when they exist.
Good afternoon !
Excuse me, what do I just have to do for cabin manager??
And in which institution do you recommend me to register for the course??
First you must start as a crew member to eventually be the boss. I recommend you wait for a call from the airlines for this type of position.
Hello Mr. Nicolás, thank you for the information you have given.…When will they open a new opening for the TCP course in an airline, I would like to know why I am interested
It all depends on the needs of the airlines.
In the Dominican Republic there is a very high-level school that offers online or face-to-face training with the opportunity to move to the DR to receive the certificate. It is a school that is certified by IDAC and congratulated by ICAO and FAA, the document can be validated, although if you apply to an airline you will have a much greater chance of passing the interview due to the excellent preparation and fear of a document from a country that certifies that you are a TC… Then, from there, you would not have to validate it because when the airline gives you the training of its planes and policies, they will give you the license that is required for the base from where your flights will be.. I studied there, it's excellent.
Excuse me what is the name of the
institution, I'm from Ecuador greetings
Hello there, the only courses that serve are those of the airlines in case of being selected.
Some airlines have a TCP training center in Ecuador? Which?
There are airlines that offer the training course without the need to hire? In order to obtain the DGAC license?
No, no airline does.
I already graduated, kid 1.68, And if I know how to speak English, so far I think everything is fine, but if I have myopia and wear glasses, could work or not? … and if the answer is no … then operating my views and taking my due time, could work?
Hi, I have more than 1.60 in stature
What are the courses that can be followed for cabin crew?
none really, the airline does it.
To be a flight attendant you have to measure 1.60 with heels or without heels?
Without heels.
What is needed to follow to work at the airport with an aviation?
If I am already active for a year working for an airline in Spain, It would be easier for me if they gave me a job in Ecuador.
As long as you have a work visa or nationality.
Good evening, I am a cabin attendant, I have a license, I acquired it in Venezuela, how do I work at Cuenca Airlines?
You need a work visa or be a resident of Ecuador to work here.
Good morning, I have a TCP title in Spain, I am Ecuadorian with residence in Spain., kid 1,57 What is the minimum that the airlines ask for here in Spain?, I wanted to know if I could work in Ecuador with this license or if I would have any problems. By height and license, since the course is done here

A cabin crew course does not guarantee you a job. You can work in Ecuador while you have a work visa.
good evening, Could you please tell me where I can find out more about the course to be able to be a flight attendant, And it is necessarily important to have a university degree, Thank you, I'm looking forward for your answer.

Do you mean to do it in Brazil??

The minimum that airlines ask for is 1.60, You should be able to reach the overhead compartments without any problems.
Hello, good evening. Could you help me with more information? I'm a graduate in tourism.
Above is all the information.
Please, I would like to know if I apply. I am a bachelor and I have 35 years
The important thing is to have an excellent level of English.
If you don't know English you can't be a flight attendant
English is essential to be a cabin crew.
Hello, good evening. I would like to do the airplane crew course, from what age can I enter, thank you
You must be of legal age.
I would like to know if there are courses for crew member free or. The cheapest of what range would it be 🙁
Some airlines usually give it free when they require staff.
Please I need! Know how to apply to work in an airline . When does the training start and did it cost? . 0998794299
Only when there are calls from the airlines.
Good morning!!
A COLOR BLIND person can be a cabin crew, or is it categorically an impediment?
Yes, is an impediment at the time of medical examinations.
Buenas tardes. I want to know what is the age limit to take the training as a Cabin Crew and in which center can I obtain the license. Thanks.
There is no age limit, but each airline could impose minimums and maximums. No center can grant licenses, more than an airline together with the DGAC.
Hello there, good afternoon I would like to be a flight attendant. Could you recommend a school? ,an official course that works with the airlines here in Guayaquil and is complete?
No airline works with any school.
One question I want to be a cabin crew member but I would like to know if there is any airline that is offering the course , Or how do I know when the courses are available? .
Since there are many schools to say so they are offering this .
thanks for the answer
No airline is carrying out the course, since they only do it when there is a need or call and they only give it to selected people.
And it is necessary to go through some training course before going to the airlines ?
No, but could be a plus, but it is not required.
Hi, I'm from Ecuador and I'm finishing high school. ? Do you think that when I finish high school. Can I enroll in a course?
Hello there, Do you need a college degree to join an airline?.
Hello Nicolas Larena… a question… Work experience matters a lot or not. I'm still a university student and I follow ECOTOURISM, well, I don't have much left.. but my dream is to be part of an airline… That's what I want to know to try to enter in the future. and what course to be a crew member is recommended… xfa what do you recommend ☺
The only course for cabin crew is the one carried out by the airline, no other. if you have another career, It will be very good, since it will allow your CV to stand out from the rest.
I did a flight crew member course in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In Ecuador, this title can be validated in order to obtain the license and be able to fly and what requirements would be needed to carry out this process.
No, In Ecuador the only way to obtain the license is by taking a course at an Ecuadorian airline.
Hello, I would like to know if there is a vacancy for a cabin crew or stewardess in Ecuador Guayaquil and if I have the opportunity I am a bachelor
You can find the available job offers here: https://www.nlarenas.com/2017/10/ofertas-de-empleo-en-aviacion-ecuador/
Good afternoon Nicolas, sorry for my concern, it is true that within the requirements to be a TC you have to be Single?? Me and the maximum age example if I have 30 years could still enter the courses to apply later.. Thanks in advance for the kindness.
Hello Mayra, depends on each airline, Some will ask to be single, others will not., and equally, some will have an age limit, others not.
Hi, I'm a bachelor, I have 30 YEARS OLD and I would like to know if I can apply for the courses or calls offered by the airlines. I will be grateful for your answer thank you very much
Each call changes the age requirement, you should be attentive to the next undated.

Buenas tardes , I would like to know where I can apply for the cabin crew preparation process this year I have my birthday 18 years old and I live in the city of Quito to have experience I would like to start in my country and then have other possibilities to work abroad

All the information you find above.
good night
and how can i get an airline call ,I have 14 years and I am very interested, I want to be a stewardess.
What happens if they don't call me, I can't continue that career
You must be attentive to the job postings that the airlines make according to their need.
To get the license we have to approach the airlines or how serious could you inform me about that please
As it says in the post, can only be achieved with the course of an airline.
There is a company called leadership that gives a tcp course, it is useful or not
As it says in this post, only serves on one airline to have a license, any other course will only help you to have knowledge.
Hello there, I want to be a cabin crew but I measure 1,56 Do you think they will accept me on any airline?? I have English courses too
Usually, the minimum height is 1.60, I have not seen calls with height less than that, you must be able to reach the overhead bins.
HELLO NIKO,
very good post. thank you very much for your valuable information.
Greetings,
Thanks Diego.
Hello, how are you, I would like to ask, can I apply as a flight attendant only with the title of being a bachelor or should I follow a university degree?
And the license only gives me the airlines and the courses that provide training do not give me any license I want to be a flight attendant and I wanted to find out more
Every call is different, some airlines only ask for a bachelor's degree, Others will ask for a university degree.. The license is only given by the airlines, as explained in this post.
What do you think of avianca, a career is necessary?university?
would be a plus, since in many calls they look for profiles with previous experience in customer service or tourism careers.
Great if I am Ecuadorian but I was raised in Spain I will be aware of the next vacancies thank you.
If you live in Spain, you could apply to be a crew member in Ecuador ?
If you have Ecuadorian citizenship or work visa, Yes.
Hello, good afternoon, a question, how do I know if the course I am going to enter to be a TCP is true and not a scam, I am from Quito, Ecuador, thank you
You can read this guide: https://www.nlarenas.com/2018/07/cuidado-ecuador-con-estafas-de-escuelas-de-pilotos-y-tripulantes/
Good afternoon, where can I check the calls?, Or how can I know if they need hostesses to apply?
just there 2 called, you can see them here: https://www.nlarenas.com/2017/10/ofertas-de-empleo-en-aviacion-ecuador/
hello , I lost my guide to being a pilot , I am very interested , I would like to have reliable and updated information , guide me please!
Here it is https://www.nlarenas.com/2017/08/guia-para-el-aspirante-a-piloto/
Kind regards, I have my daughter 18 Recently graduated from high school, he wants to study to be a cabin crew,
A school will start on September 29 2018
My question is what schools are approved in Ecuador to grant the title or certificate of cabin crew and what do they need to be able to work in that field later?, I just read that they say that only the airlines, when they have a need, offer these courses, please I do not want to waste money on courses that later do not serve you… She measures 1,57 besides, he is going to study another career at the university, he will also enter soon ….. But she likes being Stewardess grateful for her answer
Hello Irene, as it says in this same publication, none, only airlines and DGAC can grant this license.
Excuse me, explain me something about this topic that I still can't understand , no course grants this license ? And how can we become cabin crew ? Look, I was consulting and I'm on my way to Ecuador, they told me it's a school for 15 months there is another called leadership and it is 3 days. And besides, I study online but I no longer understand which is better and how can I acquire the official certificate to be able to apply for a call from airlines requesting personnel
The only way to obtain a cabin crew license is by completing the course with the airline, the other companies such as those indicated are only training companies that will allow you to have a notion of what it is like to be a TCP.
that is, the airlines are the ones that have institutes for preparation ? And how can I enter any ? could you recommend me one ?
No, airlines don't have institutes, they are simply the only ones that can give a course that ends in a license. The only way to enter an airline is when they make a call for crew hiring and you pass the filters of the interviews and others like any hiring process.
good afternoon thanks for the information you give on this page a question because the DAC or the ETAF do official courses for stewardesses in coordination with the different airlines that are here in Ecuador or they can also be with the TAME do TCP courses to work in different airlines in any airlines in South America or North America the classes should be taught for me at the ETAF or DAC facilities I would like to be given four calls to stewardess courses per year forever because I would like for a niece of mine this concern of mine would be of actually the training I thank you for the information or in that case contact an airline to teach the course
The courses are made only by the airlines and that is given only, when will they hire staff, not before or after. Everything is based on the hiring need of the companies.
and how do they find out when they want to hire?
In the Aviation Job Offers section at http://www.nlarenas.com I publish job opportunities when they are available.
Receive my cordial greetings.. what are the airlines looking for cabin crew .. any page in particular??
There have been no calls from airlines in the last few months.
Hello good, I would like to know in this year when more or less is the call of the airlines?
Can't know exactly.
Hello, good evening, in this case, there is no problem with the bachelor's degree you have and once you make the call, you can take the cabin crew course there.…..thanks for u prompt reply…..
Correct, No problem
Hello, good afternoon. I did a "tcp course" here in Ecuador and well from what I see it was a farce haha, to apply to an airline they ask for some requirement? apart from english, height and all! Thanks!!!
It is the basic thing they ask to enter an airline, others ask for some degree or experience in customer service.
What is the maximum age to be a cabin crew?
Hi Jonathan, the maximum age depends a lot on the call of each airline, but usually, there is no maximum, but you must be of legal age.
good afternoon nice to greet you, I'm Laura Plaza from Colombia, I am currently in a selection process and I would like to know if you can help me with some information, the group with which I am opting for a vacancy is called RAHY, and I would like to know if it exists since I have doubts and I would like to verify the information, by chance you know him? They told me that it is a well-known outsourcing company and is in charge of selecting the personnel for several airlines., would you be so kind to help me
I have no information about it.
Hello, good afternoon. I hope you are well. I would like to obtain more information about the crew course. Thank you very much. Good afternoon.
Hello Magnolia, the courses are only given by the airlines and at this time there is no call. Greetings!
Buenas tardes, I am from Venezuela and I am in the process of moving to Ecuador, I'm about to get the TCP license here, could I work there with this license? In case you can't, what would be the process to validate the license?
You must have an Ecuadorian license. There is no validation for TCP. You must do the process with an airline when there are calls.
Okay, I have heard of many people who work with the Venezuelan license abroad. anyway, Thanks a lot.
Yeah right, The license from Venezuela can help you get a job in Ecuador, but yes or yes you will have to obtain the ecuadorian license. each country is different.
Every time you have offers for head crew
There is no exact date or frequency of calls, it is according to the need of the airlines and that is difficult to know.
