1. What is the Kingfisher Training Academy all about?
The Kingfisher Training Academy is a gateway for aspiring candidates to equip themselves with specific skills required for the Service Industry.
A significant part of the training is focused on the nuances of appropriate behavior, norms & prevailing Corporate culture. Our Programs addresses the gap that exists today between an Educational Institute & the Organisation.
2. How important are soft-skills for the Services sector?
Extremely important! Out of every 100 graduates that apply for a Customer service position, only a few get selected. India has a potential workforce of over a million but only a small proportion meets Industry expectations.
Those rejected are either poor communicators, lack interactive skills or poorly groomed. At Kingfisher Training Academy the Program - Learning The Good Things - is intentionally set to nurture & guide the participants through the journey to Discovering Their Inner Self.
3. Is swimming mandatory for a Cabin Crew ?
It is not a DGCA requirement. It is therefore not mandatory.
