Entrance is free of charge Emirates appoints to develop industry's first virtual training programme EMiRaTES has appointed Cubic Global defense to develop a vir- tual, game-based training pro- gramme for its cabin crew. This will be the first time in the avia- tion industry a commercial air- line will use in-depth game-based instruction with an integrated training approach. The programme, currently in development, will complement the airline's existing world-class training facilities at the Emirates aviation College – Crew Training in dubai. Using a combination of virtual learning content and gamification both online and in classrooms, the new curriculum will allow Emirates' cabin crew to learn and practise the skills re- quired to ensure the highest lev- els of safety and service on board. it will facilitate a more immersive learning experience which has been proven to increase knowl- edge retention by 65%. The science-based learning ap- proach can be customised to sup- port several training modules, in- creasing operational efficiency at the training college. With the new system, Emirates can better cater to its expanding crew population while maintaining the quality and effectiveness of its training. aircraft familiarisation is among the new content being developed, allowing cabin crew to fully im- merse themselves in a virtual walk-through of both the interior and exterior of the aircraft. Catherine Baird, Emirates' Sen- ior Vice President, Cabin Crew Training explains: "We constantly revise our training curriculum to use innovative and cutting-edge learning tools. This is our biggest investment in crew training since we introduced our full-motion, high-fidelity aircraft simulators. as the airline expands, our main goal is being able to cater to our growing crew numbers without compromising our world-class training programme. This new technology will engage our crew and complement their learning, giving them all the skills neces- sary to deliver our signature serv- ice and keeping safety at the heart of our operation." The growth of Emirates' cabin crew team has been steadily in- creasing in line with the arrival of new aircraft and new routes being added to the network. With 16 more aircraft deliveries expected by March 2016, Emirates is hiring over 5,000 new cabin crew this year alone. Today, Emirates has over 20,000 cabin crew from over 135 nationalities that speak more than 60 languages. "We're proud to be working with Emirates in a commercial aviation industry first," said Bill Toti, Pres- ident of Cubic Global defense. "We look forward to helping de- fine a new industry standard in aviation training that focuses on safety and service while incorpo- rating the best in learning science and emerging virtual technol- ogy." Cubic Global defense, a busi- ness unit of Cubic Corporation, has extensive experience in de- signing and operating training technology focused in the trans- portation and defense training markets. They are also developing similar game-based training solu- tions for the U.S. Navy. Emirates operates a daily sched- uled f light between Dubai and Malta via Larnaca, Cyprus.
