Ryanair has many "bases" throughout Europe. A "base" is the City / Airport where cabin crew live and work and where the airplanes sleep! Ryanair bases are:
Dalmac & Workforce International Contractors are contracted to place staff in all of Ryanair's European bases.
At interview you will be asked for your top 3 base location preferences (where you will live and work!). Ryanair will try to locate you in one of your 3 base preferences however, they can only send you to work in bases where they currently have vacancies so it is important that you are flexible about your base location. Once you are working in any base for at least 3 months, it is possible to apply to Ryanair to relocate you to a different base, Ryanair will endeavour to relocate you if possible
In recognition of the first 6 months of any job being the most difficult, all new staff members are awarded a New Joiners' Allowance of €1,200 (in addition to you salary) payable as follows:
| Month 1 | Salary Plus | €300 | |
| Month 2 | Salary Plus | €300 | |
| Month 6 | Salary Plus | €600 | (the party month!) |
After 12 Months you will receive an EXTRA /€325.00 annual allowance for uniforms, ID's and Medicals

Once you successfully pass your Dalmac training course you are guaranteed employment as cabin crew with our client Ryanair! Your job will start immediately after your training course!
Before you can operate as a Crew Member you must complete and pass an intensive training course. Training courses are conducted by Ryanair approved instructors. Courses are full-time, Monday-Friday, for a period of about 5-6 weeks. (Some evening and weekend training may be required)
The Ryanair Boeing 737-800 Cabin Crew Training Course covers all aspects of the job from passenger safety to customer services. With successful completion of this course you will receive your wings and be qualified to work on board Ryanair aircraft.
Training is intensive and requires a considerable amount of study. As part of the assessment process candidates will be required to sit examinations.
Every course group will be sent to Ireland/UK for 2-3 days to complete their practical on board cabin training and fire training modules.
During the training course you will be able to fly to your new base location (where you will be living and working). This is to give you the opportunity to visit your base and meet the Ryanair team and your Base Supervisor.
You can choose to train on any one of our training courses available in cities throughout Europe! Wherever you decide to train will not effect your base allocation so why not try living and studying in a new country!!!
We will provide you with free Ryanair flights to your training course location. If you decide to train in Dublin, we can also help you find accommodation.
Once you have successfully completed your training course, you will normally be required to begin work immediately! Your first 2 days on board the Ryanair aircrafts are called "supernumeries", where you will be working as an extra on board the aircraft, giving you your first opportunity to put into practice what you have learned on the course! You will begin work immediately afterwards as a fully qualified Cabin Crew member!
Acceptance Fee
If you are successful at interview, you will be invited to start on any one of our training courses (available in cities throughout Europe). When you have selected your training course, you must secure your place on the course by paying your “Acceptance Fee” of €299 (this is non-refundable).
Training Course Fee
As with most professions, you need to invest in your education to obtain your qualification. With cabin crew you must also make this investment.
There are differences however:
- You only pay for your training course when you pass the course
- If you fail the course – you do not pay any fees!
- If you leave the course - you do not pay any fees!
- If you pass the course – you are GUARANTEED EMPLOYMENT as cabin crew with our client Ryanair!
DON’T PANIC! If you cannot afford to pay for this course right now, this fee can be deducted monthly over 12 months from your salary (see “Help with Course Fees”)
What have you got to lose?
When you successfully pass the training course, you will need to pay the training fee of €2,055.
The training fee is fully inclusive – there are no hidden extras or “add-on” costs. The training course fee includes:
In partnership with a major Irish Bank, Dalmac is able to offer a loan facility which allows candidates to pay for the course fees by a system of monthly instalments.
Every candidate on the course is entitled to this facility and you can decide if you want to borrow and how much you want to borrow.
Repayments only start once you have started work, and usually not before the second salary payment.
Don’t forget your New Joiners’ Allowance of €1,200 (in addition to your salary) over first 6 months!
REMEMBER: If you fail the course or leave the course you will not have to pay any course fees!
