Travel and tourism has become a major industry even in a supposedly old-fashioned place like Chennai. People are into weekend tours and package tours and the array of offers before them is stunning. All this only proves that here is a burgeoning market for potential job-seekers. So, what about the training, you might ask. All you need to do is step into Airlines Training College to come out with that magic passport to a top quality job.
The college caters to the needs of students who wish to take up courses in travel management, cargo management and in becoming pilots. It is a registered educational society run by S Joseph, who heads the college. An economics graduate from God’s own country –
Kerala - his experience in this field made him start the college. Joseph is certified by IATA and has eight years of teaching experience.
Students who take up the course are put under the guidance of experts from reputed airlines. They teach about the intricacies of airfares and ticketing besides the business environment of the travel and tourism industry.
Joseph has roped in staff from even international airlines to expose the students to the nuances of being an airhostess or a pilot.
As part of the curriculum, they offer ‘personality development and spoken English course’. This package comes free of charge.
The college jumped into the BPO bandwagon and launched a course on ‘Medical Transcription’ recently. A product of the Americans,
medical transcription is a new healthcare profession. The American doctors draft the case history of their patients which is stored as digitised audio. Medical transcriptionists check the data thoroughly and enter them into computers as text. An understanding of medical terminology, American English, computer and listening skills are essential. This department is led by highly-qualified and experienced faculty. The students are guaranteed good jobs on completion of the course.
An attractive feature of this college is that it is situated near the railway station and bus stand, enabling students to commute easily.
