EasyJet plans to recruit 750 members of cabin crew over the next year and will launch a new induction programme for all new entrants.
The budget airline, in association with learning specialists Epic, will reduce the existing four-week face-to-face course by adopting a more e-learning based approach.
New starters will have to complete the online modules before they can progress to EasyJet's training academy to complete their induction.
The law requires that certain parts of the training scheme must be delivered face-to-face but the e-learning part will give trainers more time to explore more complex theory in person allowing group discussion, collaboration and real-time application.
Barbara Gordon, EasyJet's cabin crew training manager, said: "We expect to recruit 750 cabin crew in the next 12 months, a big increase on previous years. Not only will we reduce accommodation and training room costs, we'll also be offering an enhanced, quality e-learning experience. The blended approach promises to be engaging, easy to access and offer measurable results."
