Frankfinn Institute

After having established itself as the world' s number one airhostess training institute, Frankfinn Institute of
Airhostess Training is now eyeing
overseas markets and is in the midst of
freezing plans to foray into the Middle-
East.
While it already has an operation in Dubai, it is now eyeing other parts of
the Middle-East, where its Chairman, K
S Kohli, scents an immense potential
for its services. " We are the number one airhostess training institute. Now
we want to expand our footprint
globally," Kohli said. With this view, it has set up Frankfinn Institute of Air
Hostess Training FZ LLC and launched
its operations in Dubai. " Soon we propose to enter other Middle-East
markets, " he said. Frankfinn also has a presence in Mauritius and Hong Kong.
Frankfinn Institute of Air Hostess
Training is a division of Frankfinn
Aviation Services. Buoyant about the
future of the aviation industry as also
of the hospitality and travel sectors, Kohli said that as these sectors grow
exponentially in the coming years,
there would be a tremendous need for
trained personnel and hence the
growth of his Institute and others
such as his, is a given. " As the aviation sector expands, there will be new aircraft, new airports and
increased number of flights. Trained
manpower will be required to cater to
a rapidly-growing number of
customers. It is here that institutes
such as Frankfinn will have to play an important role," Kohli said. Frankfinn ' s courses have a global acceptance, he
said. " All courses at Frankfinn in aviation, hospitality and travel
management are accredited by ICM,
UK, an institute of repute that is
recognized in over 130 countries
worldwide.
The rapid growth of all these industries can be gauged from the fact
that in the last one year over 5000
Frankfinn students have been placed
with 1900 in just 100 days in the
aviation, hospitality and travel
industry. The top salary offered was Rs. 1.26 lacs per month. Over 700
campus/ exclusive interviews were
conducted in the last one year.
Testimony to this is the fact that
Frankfinn ' s students have got placed not only in Indian air-carriers but also
in leading international ones such as
Singapore Airlines, Emirates, Oman Air
and Malaysia Air.
In the hospitality sector as well,
leading chains such as the Leela, Hyatt, Marriott, Taj and ITC, among others,
have hired Frankfinn ' s graduates, he said.An important facet of the Institute
he highlighted is the fact that it has a
dedicated placement assistance cell
which assists students in their
placement even after completion of
their course. Frankfinn also has a tie-up with Jet
Airways for in-flight familiarization and
after completion of the same, the
students get a co-branded certificate," he said. Frankfinn also offers soft-skills
training to corporates in areas such as
leadership skills, conflict management,
team-building, sales skills and stress
and time management, among others.
It also lays emphasis on personal grooming, etiquette and mannerisms.
Christened Frankfinn Corpexcel, it
offers training solutions for all levels— right from the entry-level employees
to the CEO.
Frankfinn also has a company — Frankfinn Management Consultants — which specializes in providing HR
solutions to many airlines and hotels.
This company is the recruitment
partner for all positions in India for the
entire Emirates Group including
Emirates Airlines. In the past, it has provided recruitment consultancy to
Malaysia Airlines, Oman Air, Air Arabia,
Indigo and Air Deccan (now
Kingfisher Red). The group has also
ventured into the security services
business with K5 Security, Kohli said.
