Program Backed By TSA's Federal Air Marshal Service
The modern airline travel environment has become more stressful
for passengers, and it's having implications for cabin crew
members. The Workforce Development Center at Bunker Hill Community
College is offering a Crew Member Self-Defense Training (CMSDT)
program for all actively employed flight and cabin crew members of
US passenger and cargo carriers. The one-day hands-on training
course, which is free of cost to qualified crew members, will be
offered Sunday, November 13: 0800-1600 EST, and Sunday,
December 11 : 0800-1600 EST.
The program, administered by the American Association of
Community Colleges (AACC), is sponsored by the Transportation
Security Administration's Federal Air Marshal Service. BHCC
partners with AACC to deliver the program locally in the Boston
area. As the only community college offering the course in
Massachusetts, BHCC plays a prominent role within the CMSDT
community of more than 20 training sites nation-wide located at
community colleges and participating airline training
facilities.
Program benefits include:
Self defense tactics to avoid becoming a victim on or off the
job;
Self confidence from the physical techniques taught and the mental
framework built into the program;
Behavior recognition module aimed at increasing awareness of one's
surroundings, so that one is protected in the cabin and in personal
situations that can arise in parking lots, hotels, etc.
Participants can attend this free program as many times as they
would like to master the physical skills and build muscle memory.
Instruction is provided by experienced law enforcement or military
trainers following a rigorous certification program led by the
Federal Air Marshal Service.
