	After the Assessment Day
	Q. What is the time period starting from the time I am successful to the time I start my training? A. To conduct all the necessary clearances, it takes approximately 4-6 weeks for all joining formalities to have been processed. However, this all depends on how quickly you are able to submit all necessary documents. You must take into account your notice period at your current job and also whether we have an available training course date for you at that time. If not, you will be placed in a holding pool and will be contacted at the soonest to join. This is subject to the operational need as well as the availability of training courses.
	Q. How long does the Security Clearance take to be processed? A. Once the Security Clearance has been submitted, it takes 10-14 working days to be processed.
	Q. What is the Police Clearance, and what is the procedure to obtain it? A. Police Clearance is only applicable to those who are residents of the United Arab Emirates. In order to process your application when successful, you must go to the police station in your city of residency and apply for a Police Clearance. You will need 300dhs, your original passport and 4 passport sized photographs in order to obtain this. Normally, it takes a few days, and once you have obtained it, you must send it to us to add to your file. Only then will we start the Security Clearance process.
	Q. Do I need to have my vaccinations before I come to the UAE? A. We advise you to get your vaccinations in your home country; however, if this is not possible then you can always do it when arriving in Abu Dhabi. If any vaccinations have been done previously or during your childhood, you must bring the vaccination record so as not to repeat the vaccination
	Q. What is the number of hours I can fly? In a week? In a month? A. Your schedule is distributed on a monthly basis, and so it will vary from month to month depending on the destinations you may fly to.
	Q. Do you offer any language courses such as Arabic? A. We do not currently offer any language courses. However, if this is something of interest to you, you can always research different language institutes online in Abu Dhabi that may be offering what you are looking for.
	Q. If I wish to study a language course in a University, is it allowed? A. Given the nature of the Cabin Crew job, your schedule is extremely flexible and so it will be difficult for you to physically attend a University.
	Q. If I was recruited in City A, but wish to depart from City B when coming to live in Abu Dhabi, will this be possible? A. Yes, it is possible. The HR team will be able to assist in making the necessary travel arrangements that are convenient for you to travel to Abu Dhabi.
