Cabin Crew Certification

The Cabin Crew Certification is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests cabin crew knowledge — normal operations and crew coordination, emergency procedures and evacuation, fire, smoke, decompression and turbulence, first aid and passenger health, and security, dangerous goods and passenger care — written to ICAO cabin safety guidance, the IATA Cabin Operations Safety Best Practices Guide, FAA regulations and SKYbrary for 2026. Airlines train to their own aircraft types and procedures, and national authorities (such as EASA's cabin crew attestation) set licensing rules. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable Cabin Crew Proficiency certificate (SOA-CCX). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Cabin Operations Safety Best Practices Guide (International Air Transport Association (IATA)), Cabin safety articles (SKYbrary Aviation Safety), CPR and ECC guidelines (American Heart Association) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: Cabin Operations Safety Best Practices Guide (International Air Transport Association (IATA)); Cabin safety articles (SKYbrary Aviation Safety); CPR and ECC guidelines (American Heart Association); Unruly passengers (IATA); 14 CFR 121.542 Flight crewmember duties (sterile flight deck) (US FAA (eCFR)); 14 CFR 25.803 Emergency evacuation (90-second demonstration) (US FAA (eCFR)). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Normal Operations and Crew Coordination (Pre-flight checks, Doors and cross-checks and Sterile flight deck and CRM); Emergency Procedures and Evacuation (Planned and unplanned emergencies, Evacuation and Ditching); Fire, Smoke, Decompression and Turbulence (Fire fighting, Lithium batteries and Decompression and turbulence); First Aid, Security and Passenger Care (First aid and medical events, Security and unruly passengers and Dangerous goods and special passengers). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Flight attendant or cabin crew member, Cabin crew trainee or applicant, Senior cabin crew member or purser, Cabin safety instructor and Airline customer service staff moving to cabin crew. It suits anyone who wants a quick, verifiable way to show Cabin Crew knowledge in 2026 and 2027, from students and career switchers to experienced professionals.

Cabin crew are on board first for safety: they check emergency equipment, brief passengers, manage the cabin during turbulence, fire, decompression or medical events, and lead evacuations. Service is important, but safety and security duties come first.

Aircraft certification rules, such as FAA 14 CFR 25.803, require manufacturers to show that a full aircraft can be evacuated within 90 seconds using only half of the exits. Cabin crew training is designed so crews can command evacuations that fast.
