The course will run for approximately six weeks generally from 0900 – 1800, five days a week and may include weekend days. The majority of the training days will be completed in the classroom; however, training will also be carried out at an airport base and in-flight. Due to the availability of aircraft this training may not necessarily happen during normal course hours and maybe completed at weekends or during the night. It will be necessary for the Trainees to make themselves available at these times should it be required.

Supernumerary flights will be organised over two or three consecutive days and are part of the training and therefore unpaid. The base/airport from which the supernumerary flights are operated will be assigned subject to availability and will be at the discretion of Ryanair.
At all times Crewlink Ireland Limited have the right to relocate Cabin Crew Staff to any Ryanair European base/airport. While every consideration will be given to each Trainee’s base preference, due to logistical and operational demands the cabin crew contract agencies have the right to move staff where Ryanair’s operation requirements dictate.

8. Study Time:
The training course is an intensive programme and will require that each Trainee takes approximately 2 hours each evening to revise what they have learned that day.

9. Pre Course Study Pack
The Pre course study pack will be sent to each candidate before the course commences. There is 40 hours of study within the pack and each candidate must ensure that they have covered all the topics before the first day of training.
10. Attendance:
Like any course that you would study attendance is compulsory. In a mere five weeks you will learn an entirely new profession.

Absenteeism or repeated tardiness will result in expulsion from the course. There will be no refund of fees should this happen.
11. Behaviour:
Trainee’s general behaviour and attitude will be assessed throughout the Training Course. If your instructor deems your behaviour to be unsatisfactory, (this would include abuse of alcohol/drugs) may terminate you from the Training Course and you will not be offered a position as cabin crew. There will be no refund of fees in this case.
12. Examinations:
Examinations will take place throughout the training. It will be necessary for any trainee who would like to be put forward for a position with Crewlink Ireland Limited to pass all of these exams. There will be no refund of fees should a trainee fail to pass their final exam. An opportunity to re-sit the final exam will be given in certain circumstances. If you are encountering any difficulties on the course it is extremely important that you inform the trainer so that they can give you as much additional assistance as is possible.

Successful Trainees will be invited to participate in the wings Ceremony / Presentation to celebrate all the hard work during the course and will be organised for you by the training school. You will receive your uniform and Training Certificate on this day.
14. Base Allocation:
While every effort is made to meet your preferred base request, please note there may not be any positions available at these locations and as such, you may be offered an alternative base. Base allocations will be assigned during the three weeks before the first day of the course and therefore you can begin your search for accommodation with other students at your base. Your instructor will endeavour to assist you with contact details from crew notice boards and letting agents. You have time allocated in the course plan for a base visit and this includes time to view accommodation. It will be the Trainee’s own responsibility to organise their accommodation at their new location.
15. Successful Completion of Course:
Crewlink Ireland Limited will employ Trainees who have successfully completed all aspects of the Training Course/Final Exam and the Supernumerary flights procedure and obtain a Full Airport ID for positions of Cabin Crew contracted to operate on Ryanair aircraft.
It will be the Trainee’s own responsibility to organise their accommodation at their new location.
Once assigned to base, Trainees should have sufficient funds to support themselves (rent, food, etc) until such time as their first salary is deposited into their bank account on 10th day of the month.
The minimum sustenance amount is estimated at €200 per week.
16. Deposit:
The course fee is €2,800.00 if paid in full before the course start date.
If the candidate chooses to pay in monthly installments a deposit of €1,000.00 must be paid before the training course commences and the receipt scanned and emailed to Andrew Swan at andrew@crewlink.ie.

22. Summary:
While Crewlink Ireland Limited currently has contracts of employment for positions crewing Ryanair aircraft at bases throughout Europe, you must clearly understand that your position on the training course does not constitute an offer of employment.

In order to do this, you must achieve the required pass rate in all examinations throughout the training course and you must also pass the medical examination required by the aviation authorities.

The medical examination will be undertaken by an aviation practitioner and trainees who are found to have illnesses such as epilepsy which may affect the safety of the passengers will not meet the medical requirements for the position and therefore an offer of employment with Crewlink Ireland Limited will not be made.
I, the undersigned, understand and agree to accept the terms of this Training Agreement: - I understand that my position on the training does not constitute an offer of employment and in order to secure a contract of employment with Crewlink Ireland Limited I will need to pass all aspects of my training, including Oral, Practical, Written examinations, a medical examination and reference / identity checks.
