Overview

Together, travel and tourism make up one of the world's largest industries. While the internet has made travel booking easier, travel agents continue to play a vital role in luxury, corporate, and group travel. In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects an estimated 8,200 job openings for travel agents annually, on average, by 2033. As the industry continues to expand, now is the perfect opportunity to become a skilled travel agent and enroll in an online travel agent certification course.

This online travel agent training covers a broad range of topics to ensure you are thoroughly prepared for your new career, including an introduction to the travel industry, an overview of key professional skills, basic/international and destination geography, and an introduction to international and air travel. Additionally, you will review transportation and career development fundamentals and learn about sales and marketing in the travel industry.

The training also introduces you to Travefy, a leading platform for travel advisors. You will receive a 12-month subscription and learn how to begin creating and managing itineraries, proposals, and client communications effectively. Access to this software is especially beneficial for those looking to start or expand their own businesses.

By completing your online travel agent course, you will gain a deep understanding of both travel and tourism so you can help clients research, plan, and book their trips. Furthermore, you will prepare to take the TAP (Travel Agent Proficiency) test, offered by the Travel Institute (formerly ICTA), with the registration fee for this test included with your online travel agent course.
