Instructor Simon Cookson (Cookson Simon)
Message from the instructor After graduating, Zemi students have become cabin crew at airlines in Japan (Japan Airlines, Zipair, ANA, ANA Wings, Peach, Airdo) and foreign airlines (Emirates, Etihad, Qatar, Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, Air Asia X). Others work at airports (Haneda, Narita, etc), international hotels (Imperial Hotel, Hilton Hotel, etc) and a range of other companies.
In this Zemi, we make connections with students from other countries. We also connect with cabin crew at international airlines and staff at international airports. Please join us!

Voices of seminar students

  • It’s a great opportunity to learn English. The environment is very international and unique. Someone aiming to becoming a flight attendant has many chances to meet the flight attendants from different airlines including international airlines.
  • Simon's seminar is conducted entirely in English, and because there are many alumni visits, we get to hear from many senior students, which I think is unique to this seminar. Also, on the last day of the seminar each semester, we have a party where we eat, chat, and play games, allowing seniors and juniors to get to know each other better. There are many other fun times as well, so I always look forward to the seminar.
