Behind the scenes at EVA Air's flight attendant training center

EVA Air flight attendant trainee Jessica checks for obstacles outside of a Boeing 777 door safety trainer. The recently renovated facility houses several such trainers, with at least one for each aircraft in its fleet.

Heads barely visible, students ready themselves for a simulation inside a full-size Boeing 777 cabin simulator.

The simulator can convincly reproduce a variety of emergencies, from severe turbulence to, in today's case, a restroom fire. Here, the trainee dons fire-fighting gear as she readies to practice putting the fire out.

A trainee keeps a careful eye on her colleague while simulatenously appealing to passengers - fellow students, in this case - to stay calm as smoke from a restroom fire begins to fill the cabin simulator.

Grace Yang, EVA Air's Executive Vice President of Cabin Service, demonstrates putting out a live fire in a mock overhead luggage bin. The airline recently added the unusual live fire-training space, which can replicate controlled fires inside restrooms, seat backs, and luggage bins among other locations.

EVA Air's training facility contains several cabin service mock-ups, each with several rows of the same seats found on board the aircraft in EVA's fleet.

The mock-ups offer students extensive, realistic hands-on opportunities to practice everything from serving meals and preparing the cabin to customer service and interaction.
