THE sky is the limit for cabin crew graduates from a Stockton college.

More than a third of the students who completed their EMTA Air Cabin Crew vocational qualification at the Stockton Riverside College had secured jobs before the end of the course.

All 17 candidates recently attended college for the final time having been successful on the 30-week course, validated by the awarding body EAL.

Karla Gray, 21, will soon be joining Luton Airport following a successful application to easyJet.

She said: "The course has provided me with a good knowledge of the airline industry, improved my interview techniques and has given me much more confidence."

As well as preparing and serving from the catering trolley, first aid and customer care, the EMTA course teaches fire-fighting at Teesside Airport and aircraft evacuation training, at East Midlands Airport.

Anyone interested in enrolling on the new course, which begins in September, is asked to contact Stockton Riverside College on (01642) 865566.
