Since its inception in 1993, it has aimed to equip students with the skills, grooming, and industry knowledge needed to enter aviation, ground-staff, or hospitality roles.

In this article, I’ll walk you through everything a prospective student should know — from courses and eligibility to facilities, fees, placements, and pros & cons — so you can make an informed decision.

What is Frankfinn?

• Frankfinn began in 1993 as a specialized training institute focusing on air hostess (cabin crew) training.
• Over the years, it has expanded to cover not just cabin-crew training, but also aviation ground services, hospitality, travel & customer service, and related soft-skills.
• The institute is an approved training partner of major bodies like the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and Tourism & Hospitality Skill Council (THSC).
• According to its own data, Frankfinn claims “10,000+ record placements” in FY 2024–2025, and over 65+ state-of-the-art centres across India.

In short — Frankfinn presents itself as a pan-India institute for aviation-related skills training, with a network large enough to give many aspirants a chance to train close to home.

Courses & Eligibility

Frankfinn offers multiple courses, depending on how deep you want to go and what part of aviation/hospitality you’re interested in.

Commonly Offered Courses

* Duration and schedule may vary slightly depending on centre or city.

Basic Eligibility

• Most certificate courses require 12th pass (or currently appearing) or higher.
• For some advanced/post-graduate certificate courses, a graduation or final-year graduation status may be required.
• Good command over communication (English + Hindi), personality, grooming, and general fitness (especially if aspiring for cabin-crew) are essential.

What You Learn — Curriculum & Training

Frankfinn’s training is more than just theory; it tries to give a hands-on glimpse of what working in aviation or hospitality feels like. Some key aspects:

• Professional grooming, soft skills & communication: Emphasis on grooming, posture, spoken English — critical for cabin-crew, customer-facing, or travel-hospitality jobs.
• Technical & aviation-industry exposure: Students learn about airline operations, airport procedures, reservation systems (CRS), flight safety protocols, passenger handling, in-flight services etc.
• Practical training in mock environments: Many centres have mock aircraft-cabin setups, grooming rooms, audio-visual and practical training infrastructure to simulate real cabin-crew/ground-staff training.
• Interview preparation & placement support: After course completion, there’s often guidance on how to appear for airline interviews, grooming for selection, soft-skills readiness, and job-application support.

So it’s a mix of soft-skills, aviation or hospitality knowledge, and practical exposure — all aimed at readying you for airline, ground-staff or hospitality roles.

Fees & Course Cost

As with many training institutes, fees at Frankfinn vary depending on the course, duration, and city/centre. Some indicative information:

• For a full 11–12 month cabin-crew/aviation course in major metros, total fees generally lie between ₹1.5 lakhs to ₹2.5 lakhs.
• Shorter or shorter-duration courses (in tier-2 or smaller cities) may cost a bit lower, sometimes in the ballpark of ₹1.5 lakhs or slightly less.
• What’s usually included: training sessions (classroom + practical), grooming classes, study materials, sometimes uniform/grooming kit (depending on centre), interview-prep and placement-assistance.
• Payment flexibility: Many centres offer installments / EMI / bank-loan options to ease payment.

Note: Fees and exact offerings may vary by city/branch — always verify when you contact the centre closest to you.

Centres & Availability

One of the strengths of Frankfinn is its wide network. As of recent data:

• It has 70+ centres across India, including big metros and smaller cities.
• There is even an international training centre (in Dubai) — though for most Indian aspirants, the domestic centres are more relevant.

Notable locations across India:

• Madhya Pradesh: Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur
• Maharashtra: Andheri (Mumbai), Thane (Mumbai), Vashi (Mumbai), Ghatkopar (Mumbai), Nagpur, Pune
• Odisha: Bhubaneswar
• Punjab: Ludhiana, Jalandhar
• Rajasthan: Jaipur (C Scheme, Gopalpura Bypass)
• Uttar Pradesh: Ghaziabad, Gorakhpur, Agra
• Other locations: Bangalore (Church Street, Kalyan Nagar, Whitefield, Koramangala), Chandigarh, Chennai, Dehradun, Goa (Margao), Guwahati, Hyderabad (Ameerpet, Dilsukhnagar, Himayatnagar, Kukatpally, Suchitra Junction), Kochi, Kolkata (Camac Street, Gariahat, Salt Lake City, Chinar Park Rajarhat), Lucknow (Gomti Nagar, Hazratganj), Mangalore, and Thiruvananthapuram 

Having a centre near your home can save travel and relocation costs — a big advantage compared to institutions limited to major cities.

Placement & Realistic Expectations: Pros & Cons

✅ What Frankfinn Does Well

• Structured training: For many students, the training helps significantly in communication skills, grooming, confidence — things that are hard to self-learn. Several reviews highlight improvements in spoken English, posture, and interview confidence after the course.
• Industry exposure: The curriculum — including basics of airline operations, ground services, customer service and practical mock-cabin training — gives a feel for real aviation-related jobs.
• Wide network & accessibility: With many centres across India (including smaller cities), access is easier; you don’t necessarily need to relocate to a metro.
• Placement support & interview prep: They claim thousands of placement drives, job-referral support, and tie-ups with airlines/hospitality organizations.

⚠️ What You Should Be Careful About / What Others Say

• Course doesn’t guarantee a job: Some reviews — including from former students — say that while the training was good, placement was not guaranteed. Getting a cabin-crew job depends a lot on your own performance, grooming, interview skills rather than just the certificate.
• Mixed feedback on placement outcomes: Some students report success (getting a hospitality job or hotel job), others mention many batches without clear airline placements.
• Additional expenses: Uniforms, grooming kits, sometimes travel for interviews or personal grooming upkeep — these may cost extra depending on centre.
• No hostel facility: Many branches do not offer on-campus accommodation. Students often have to find PGs or shared accommodation nearby.

Is Frankfinn Worth It — Who Should Join

If you are someone who:

• Needs structured training and grooming (communication, etiquette, personality)
• Prefers a supportive environment rather than self-learning from scratch
• Lives in/near a city where a Frankfinn centre is available (so you don’t incur high relocation costs)
• Is realistic about competition and understands that certificate doesn’t mean a guaranteed job

Then, Frankfinn can be a useful stepping stone — especially if you want to enter aviation, ground operations, hospitality, or travel-service sectors.

However, if you are confident in your communication skills, grooming, and are comfortable preparing on your own (e.g. via self-study, online resources, mock-interviews), you might evaluate whether the cost (₹ 1.5–2.5 lakhs) justifies the benefit — because ultimately, airlines/hotels hire based on performance and interview, not just institute certificates.

What to Do If You’re Thinking of Joining

Before making a final call, you should:

1. Check if the centre of Frankfinn is currently admitting — visit their website or call to confirm.
2. Ask for the latest fee structure, what’s included (uniform, grooming kit, placement support, etc.), and modes of payment (instalments/loan/EMI).
3. Visit the centre physically (if possible) to see infrastructure — AC classrooms, mock cabin, grooming rooms — and talk to existing students about their experience.
4. Keep realistic expectations: Work on communication, grooming and fitness even during/after course; don’t assume certificate alone will get you cabin-crew job.

Conclusion

Frankfinn Institute of Air Hostess Training is among the most established names in India for aviation and hospitality-related training. With a wide network of centres, a variety of courses, and focus on grooming, communication, and aviation fundamentals — it offers a structured way to prepare for cabin crew or related service-industry roles.

However — like many training institutes — success depends heavily on your own dedication, performance, and how well you use the skills taught. The certificate can open doors, but ultimately what counts is how ready you are for real-world airline or hospitality demands.
