Vasundhara Air Hostess Academy plans expansion

The Vasundhara Aviation Academy (VAA), perhaps the first academy of its kind in Madhya Pradesh, has evolved an indigenous training module to cater to all possible aspects of services in the airline, Travel & Tourism industry. The academy excels in producing air and tourism personnel.

"After our success in Bhopal, we plan to open up our centers in Jabalpur & Khajuraho" says Janardan Singhal – Head of the academy.

He also adds that the academy, which opened with just few students, is now churning trained youngsters each year. "We are different in every way from the numerous similar schools that have sprung up. For one, we are the pioneers in this field, having started out first. Also, we do not believe in bringing in celebrities as gimmicks to attract students.

The institute provides trained resources to the entire service industry, including aviation, hotels, air catering organisations and ground services.

The institute boasts of a renowned faculty of professionals from the aviation, hotel and tourism industry. Apart from their core faculty, they also have professionals working in various airlines and hotels as visiting faculty. They include professionals from airlines and the hotel industry.

During last years, it has managed 100 per cent placement of its students across national flight carriers such as Jet Airways, Air India & also in leading hotels.

An ISO 9001:2000 certified company; the Vasundhara Aviation Academy has also Certified Computer Reservation System (GALILEO). The institution has grown not because of financial backing but because of the students, their thirst for knowledge, for a broader horizon."

The demand for CRS diploma holders have increased manifold due to the conversion of the manual ticketing system to the online e-booking system. This course was devised keeping in mind the computer reservation system as operated in the airline, hotel and car rental sectors. Students can also find employment opportunities in other areas, such as travel and tourism related ticket counters, city booking offices and air line back office operations. It is the first institute in Madhya Pradesh that began offering a well-designed and comprehensive training curriculum for the entire service sector, especially the aviation and hospitality sectors.

VAA offers a one-year diploma in aviation and three months fast track management training in Aviation.
