Introductie

Will this profession suit you?

Is your dream to become a steward or stewardess, and study in English? Are you interested in other cultures and do you like to travel? Then the International Steward/Stewardess course is for you! At MBO College Airport you’ll work in an international environment, discover everything about aviation services, and learn how to ensure passenger safety in emergency situations. In addition to learning additional foreign languages, you can also obtain your Cambridge English Certificate – which is recognised all over the world.

What will the course be like?

International Steward/Stewardess is a full-time dual-language three-year programme, where you’ll receive lessons in Dutch (50%) and English (50%). The course focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects of the aviation industry, with lectures, guest speakers and skills training sessions offered either in English and/or Dutch. This makes the course varied and challenging. You will also take part in global projects, working with international schools, colleges and businesses worldwide. On top of that, you get to study an extra foreign language and there’s a big chance that you’ll get to travel to other countries, as part of the Erasmus student exchange programme.

Lessons are held in our airport mockup, including cabin and check-in areas, and all safety exercises are taught in our very own Boeing 737.

If you are over 18, you can do your year 2 internship abroad in any one of our member countries including Cyprus, Gran Canaria, Brussels or Berlin. During your year 3 internship at Schiphol, you get to work with companies such as KLM, TUI, Swissport, Menzies or Axxicom.

In addition to the legally determined tuition/course fees, you will have to take into account additional costs for learning materials and perhaps some extras.

Learning materials
For most courses, you will need books. A laptop might also be a specific requirement.
Depending on your course, you might also need special software or clothing. 

Extras 
All curriculums are designed to help you enter the labour market as well prepared as possible. This may mean that we organise excursions or master classes for which you will have to pay an additional charge. We also believe it is important for you to buy your own learning materials so that you can practise after school hours.  We keep the costs as low as possible without compromising quality. Any additional costs are determined in consultation with the student representative board. If the costs are a problem and you need help, there are several forms of financial support.

Please find below an indication of the costs for the entire course. You will be informed of the exact costs at the introduction.
