Where does Ryanair do their training?

Apprentice Programme ? Aimed at those who have studied an aviation or mechanical discipline our Apprentice Programme is run each year in Dublin, Stansted & Prestwick.



Ryanair primarily conducts its world-class pilot and cabin crew training at several dedicated state-of-the-art facilities across Europe, with the most prominent being the Ryanair Training Centre in Dublin (Santry) and the East Midlands Training Centre in the UK. In 2026, the airline has also heavily utilized its newer facility in Milan Bergamo, which was part of a €50 million investment to support their growing Mediterranean operations. These centers are equipped with high-fidelity "full motion" Boeing 737 flight simulators that replicate every conceivable flight scenario for pilots. For cabin crew, the training is equally intense, featuring "mock" aircraft cabins where recruits undergo six weeks of rigorous safety and emergency procedure (SEP) training, including fire fighting, medical first aid, and water evacuation drills. The airline also partners with specialized flight schools like AFTA (Atlantic Flight Training Academy) in Cork and Skyborne to funnel new cadets into their "mentored" programs, ensuring a steady stream of highly qualified personnel for their massive fleet.
