What type of emergency training have you completed?
"I'm certified for First Aid and CPR, and I'm available to take any additional training that's needed if hired for this position."
Going into your interview, it is important to know that most airlines require their Flight Attendants to have CPR and first aid certification. With this question, your interviewer will be looking to hear if you do have any formal training in CPR and first aid. If you do, talk about your certifications. If you don't, no need to fret, as that doesn't disqualify you from the position as the airline sends new staff for formal training frequently. If this is the case, reiterate to your interviewer that you are willing and able to be trained in this aspect of the job.
"I currently do not have CPR certification, but I do understand this is a requirement of the job and would be ready for the training for that certification immediately upon hire. I do have a current first aid certification through the American Red Cross, as it was required for my current job."
