The beauty of your own journey is your ability to bloom wherever you are planted. Dreaming might feel like you are not where you're meant to be, yet your heart will understand the path you are taking when you finally reach your destination.
As someone who aspires to become a flight attendant, working for the aviation industry isn't only breathtaking but a life changing experience that could prepare you for your future.
An unforgettable quote said "Once you took the first step, you are already near." Whichever path of the aviation industry you want to pursue, believe that your future is already at hand. Just give it a BIG GO
"Risk it or miss the opportunity."
In an instant, everything was different. Despite the fact that I am a pre- law student and am not in the travel sector, becoming a member of MEFATS has made me curious about the amazing work that a flight attendant does.
Aspiring cabin crew members should know that this is a highly exciting career path with lots of obstacles as well as infinite chances for both professional and personal growth.
I've just realized how crucial it is to keep in mind that being a part of the cabin crew involves more than just seeing the world as I set off on this adventure. To deliver great customer service, one must be committed, diligent, and passionate about what they do.
Many of the people you meet will undoubtedly end up in your family. Continue to learn from them at all times. Make the most of every training opportunity and aim for excellence.
With determination and perseverance, everything will happen. In God's perfect timing. Once again, thankyou Mefats, for bringing me closer to my dream...

"Risk it or miss the opportunity."
It might be quite discouraging and difficult to receive 16 rejections from Airline Companies. It's crucial to keep in mind, though, that rejection is a natural part of the job-search process and that every rejection is a chance for personal development. Never give up; if you persevere and continue honing your abilities and eventually, you may find the perfect airline that values your qualifications and experience.
To Sir Ron, Ms. Thea, Ms. Cris, Ms. Dyan, Sir Roy, Sir Kevin, Sir RR, and Ms. Ann, Thank you for sharing their expertise and experiences with us. I'm speechless at how much I've enjoyed every second of the training-it's been an incredible journey. I could not be on this amazing adventure without all of you! Your unwavering support has been instrumental in helping me to overcome challenges and achieve my goal of be a Cabin Crew of Salam Air.
SALAMAT PO SA INYO!
To all aspiring cabin crew,
Don't let failures or rejection deter you. Continue practicing, developing your abilities, and refining your passion. I hope you have a safe and successful journey towards your goals!
It's not luck, it was all hard work and perseverance. Those hardwork started when I was in college. I took up the course BS Tourism Management. I was not the smartest, not the tallest, and not the prettiest. During college, my studies were not my only responsibility. I had 3 different part-time jobs. I became a service crew in a fast food chain near my university, I became a customer service representative, and an ESL teacher so that I can help my parents to support my studies. It was tough and I questioned if I will be able to finish college. As the hardships pass and as time goes by, my desire to succeed intensified. A month before my graduation, I decided to enroll in a flight attendant training school which is Mefats Aviation Academy as a training ground for my dream of becoming a cabin crew. MEFATS helped me as well to face my weakness which is to socialize with people. I also gained the knowledge I needed for my cabin crew application. And now, I am reaping what I planted and worked hard for. As a full-pledged flight attendant of Philippine Airlines, I am now wearing one of the hardest uniforms to earn! I get to travel and see the world, experience different cultures, and support my family.
Don't lose hope, accept all the hardships life will give you. Strive and pray for the success that you're longing for because luck will not grant it to you.
As a cabin crew, I encourage you to listen to the song that has been my strength and comfort throughout my cabin crew journey, - Rise sung by Belle Mariano.
Flying with you soon!

There is a single "you" who has a dream for "you". Dreams are high and quite impossible to imagine. But nothing can stop us from dreaming of extraordinary aspirations for the future. Working in the aviation industry is an example of everyday continuing work experience. Every day has the same routine, but it's all different scenarios. Always remember: first, you must believe in yourself; second, discover what you like to do and keep improving; and lastly, don't just dream. Write it down. It's really "MEFATS CHANGED MY LIFE". MEFATS taught me the importance of believing in yourself, turning my fear into courage, and always remain humble and kind to all people you meet. MEFATS WILL HELP, TRAIN, AND DEVELOP YOU FOR YOUR DREAMS AS CABIN CREW.
I got my first set of wings at MEFATS, and now I'm spreading my wings as a passenger service agent, and soon I'll be ready to conquer the sky.
I will forever be grateful to MEFATS.
ONCE A MEFATS BABY ALWAYS A MEFATS BABY.
Trust the process.
MEFATS is a big part of my life. Sa MEFATS dapat everyday ready kase every day in MEFATS is a new lesson to adapt. Ito yung hindi lang basta klase or training kundi ito ang pamilyang isa sa naghubog kung ano at sino ako ngayon.
I'm shy during my first day, very introvert ika nga. But in the end of the day, this training pull me out on my comfort zone. Dito ako natuto hindi matakot sa pagbabago. Natutunan ko dito, na huwag tayong matakot magkamali, hindi dahil sa nagkamali tayo hindi na tayo pwedeng umusad. Minsan 'yung mga pagkakamali natin yung magpapalakas at magiging daan natin para maabot ang tagumpay.
All mentors in MEFATS are the best!
Sa paghubog ng aking mga pakpak sa ngayon. MEFATS Family ay isa sa kasama ko sa paglipad sa takdang panahon.

It's always been my dream to become a flight attendant. Luckily, it only took me two attempts to pass! It all started after I graduated college from Indiana Aerospace University and finished my Flight Attendant preparatory training in MEFATS Flight Attendant Training School.
I began submitting resumes online and filling out walk-in applications. Then, for my first recruitment event, I constantly reviewed all the things I've learned at MEFATS and frequently asked questions (FAQs). I even rehearsed the responses myself in front of a mirror.
When the interview day came, I summoned all the confidence I mustered but unfortunately failed. Although heartbreaking, it didn't stop me from pursuing my dream. I applied again for the second time. And finally, I made it! During the training, I failed some exams, got depressed, and couldn't even count how many times I cried. It was always challenging. So I worked hard and fought to rise to the challenges before me. So now here I am, as I look at myself in the mirror wearing my uniform bearing the badge of the Filipino carrier Philippine Airlines Express. I succeeded. All the sacrifices, tears, sleepless nights, and sadness that I've been through were all worth it.
To all aspirants, especially to my brothers and sisters here in MEFATS, never question your capacity for success. As long as you put up the effort necessary, you will become the person you desire and realize your dreams.
Work hard in silence, let your success be the noise.
I have always been a dreamer. My dream job is to become a flight attendant. Yet in order to achieve it, I need something and that is actually knowledge. The knowledge on how to be the best version of myself highlighting on confidence. I have been searching for a while until April 13, 2022 when I found the school that molded me to the person I am today. That is MEFATS Aviation Academy. I had a lot of things to improve on in terms of skills and I can say that everyday is a learning day. Being in MEFATS, they not only teach you skills, but also values in life which will eventually guide you to be better. There is one instructor of MEFATS who said to us that "don't call it a dream, call it a plan." And in my mind yes that's true, if you have a dream you need to make a plan. I may not have my wings yet, but that doesn't mean my journey to become a flight attendant will end here.
I will always be thankful of MEFATS Aviation Academy for the lessons, knowledge, and experience I will always carry all the moments we shared and use them as my foundations to achieve my plans.

I felt on top of the world on my graduation day... I have never felt so accomplished in my life. I know I gave it my all because there's nothing I would have done differently over these past 4 weeks.
What I have discovered during my MEFATS classes was that you can't do it alone. Always say, "YES". Live each moment. Make sure you play with people who have your back. Make big choices early and often.
Thank you, MEFATS, for changing my life to a whole new level. I will be forever grateful.
There is no breakthrough without a breakdown.
5 weeks of training that was very challenging and yet I survived. How blessed I am to be part of Mefats Aviation Academy in which I became matured enough and trained me to become the best version of myself. They help me to improved, develop and transformed myself to become ready and face the world of aviation.
After I graduated at Mefats, I got hired by Macroasia Airport Services under Philippine Airlines as ground staff. First ever job interview and immediately got hired. I applied all the learnings and what I've trained in Mefats during the interview. This will be my stepping stone and experience I want to gain before performing Inflight services. All the staffs and CEO, Sir Ron are very approachable and will surely accompany you until you reach your dream.
Thank you so much Mefats Aviation Industry for the wings.

I used to be an aspirant and a dreamer. I recall being nervous and shy in front of my instructor on my first day at MEFATS, and wondering if I really belonged there; and MEFATS taught me to trust myself, to push myself to become better. At MEFATS, everyday is a new lesson, and every moment of it is special, they taught me how to achieve my goals and plans, step-by-step, because every step is important, and every step you'll learn something new that you can use to advance to the next rung of the ladder, and you won't realize it until you're at the top, and I also devised a step-by-step plan for achieving my objectives: my first step was enrolling in MEFATS Flight Attending School, and it was worthwhile. I may not yet have my wings, but my journey does not end here, because I am now on my second step towards my goal, and it is all thanks to MEFATS once again.
I will carry with me all of the lessons and experiences I had at MEFATS because they are a big part of who I am today.
There is no such thing as "Difficult" to a person who is determined.
Entering this field has been a challenge for me in which I had to overcome and face fears. It wasn't easy, no. Trials, frustrations, and hardships were there, but the passion and determination inside me burned continously and kept me going. Believing in one's self is the key to improvement and progress so never forget to remind yourself to keep an eye on the prize. Remember, anything is possible if you are determined. No matter the odds, no matter the difficulty, no matter the adversity.
Sooner or later you'll find yourself flying in the sky wearing the uniform of your desired airline.

The weeks that I spent in MEFATS were incredible for me. The Personality Development module helped me a lot to improve myself and to be myself more. The learnings that I got from MEFATS are very useful to me as I aimed to be a passenger service agent (which I already am today). MEFATS gave me a lot of career opportunities.
I would like to thank these people behind MEFATS who helped me to achieve my goals in life. I would like to thank Ms. Yna, for helping me to know myself, my strengths, and my weaknesses. Sir Jacob, thanks for making me brave enough to stand in front of people. To Ms. Cris, thanks for helping me to enhance my safety-related skills. And last but not the least, to Sir Ron, thanks for changing my life (for the better) through your training school, MEFATS.
Coming out is not a "one and done" event: LGBTQ people have the choice to come out with every new person they meet and in every new situation they enter. Things are harder that they need to be at work right now, but remember that people got you and people love you. I'm one of them. A journey with a thousand miles begins with a single step they said; being a transwoman in this kind of training isn't really easy at all to be able to break the barriers, I have to be determined and work harder to reach for my dreams. MEFATS gave me this once in a lifetime opportunity not just to prove myself but also to make a change.

Train your mind to be stronger than your feelings; This is one of the best knowledge I've gained from MEFATS, indeed they help me to grow in every possible way even in times of doubt. A moment in my life that will be treasured because I found the greatest mentor here with unending guidance throughout my journey. They molded every student to become fearless, bold and prepared for the industry.
MEFATS is extremely beneficial to me, regardless of the fact that the school is located so far from my home. The school exceeded my expectations and transformed me in so many ways, such as (but not limited to) improving my confidence and conquering my weaknesses. There are no easy things in life; every goal has to go through a tough road. However, if you are dedicated and determined to achieve your goal, then nothing is impossible. I came to MEFATS only carrying one dream. And now I'm living it and applying everything I learned in MEFATS.

My journey to becoming a flight attendant was not easy. I was rejected by the airlines that I applied for 3 times before and the reason for the rejection was not disclosed. I kept on asking myself why would they refuse to hire me when I know that I am very qualified for the position. Finally, I have heard of Mefats Aviation Academy and how they are capable of transforming aspirants into competent flight attendants. I decided to take their Cabin Crew Preparatory Course and have discovered so much regarding the FA hiring process. I have learned the interview secrets and effective resume construction. MEFATS transformed me indeed through the course of 5 weeks and I never looked back. After graduating, and to my surprise, I immediately got hired by Royal Air after only 5 days.
And now, finally flying with my dream airline, Qatar Airways. I will forever be grateful with MEFATS. Thank you so much for transforming and developing me. Just remember, do not be afraid to take small steps as long as you keep your eyes on your goal.
Flying and being a flight attendant has always been my dream. Our family's financial struggles however hampered my goal of claiming a college diploma associated with being an FA. I was forced to find work even if I was just a SHS graduate. I was introduced to MEFATS and immediately took their Cabin Crew Preparatory Course. I couldn't believe how they transformed and developed me over their 5-week course. Three weeks only after graduating, I got hired by Air Asia. MEFATS gave me so much confidence to compete with college diploma holders.
