Student reviews

point A

In March 2024, I went to my first interview. I wanted to test myself and see how the process worked. I made it to the final stage but received a rejection.

After discovering your Instagram blog, I realized that I needed thorough preparation to feel 100% confident next time.

point B

I completed the course, went to another interview, and this time, I got the job immediately. Now, I’ve been flying for two months, visiting countries I had never even dreamed of, and I feel that endless opportunities have opened up for me!

Margo
point A

I worked as a waitress for two years. I knew English but not perfectly. I had wanted to change jobs for a long time but didn’t want to attend Open Day multiple times. When I found Maria, I felt it was a sign—it was time to take action.

point B

I passed the interview on my first attempt! I walked in confidently, knowing I would get this job, and it happened—I received my Golden Call. Now, I’m starting a new chapter in my life and know I made the right choice!

Anya
point A

Planes had been a part of my life since childhood, but I never thought I would become a flight attendant. In 2015, while sitting in a lecture at medical college, I realized I wanted to work in aviation. I started researching, but most sources were unreliable.

Scrolling through Instagram, I found Maria. I decided to take action. I completed the training, sent my CV to Emirates, and waited for Open Day.

point B

Result? I got the Golden Call! Now, after almost a year of flying, visiting dozens of countries, and working in my dream team, I step onto the aircraft each time knowing—this is what I had been working toward all these years.
