Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

First Aid and CPR training is a requirement for many roles in the airline industry. In most cases, such training is provided by the airlines themselves. In fact, "not only does Virgin Atlantic take their first aid seriously, but one in five cabin crew members is trained in mental health first aid". So inform your interviewer of any training you've you had, and any current certifications you possess. If haven't earned any yet, express your enthusiasm to do so.

Anonymous Answer

I have completed first aid at work which will be coming up for renewal soon. I have to always have entry-level first aid for my work and volunteering the equivalent of the 2-day course.
