Airlines conduct their own training, usually lasting 4–8 weeks, covering safety procedures, emergency handling, and customer service. Examples: Delta, United, and Emirates offer in-house training.
Some independent programs exist, but most airlines prefer to train their own crew.

Some airlines offer apprenticeship-style programs.
