The Travel Institute
Diane Petras: Experience in booking particular destinations or through specific suppliers is always helpful on a resume, but education is the most critical indicator of commitment and success throughout an agent’s career. In fact, industry surveys prove agents who take the time to learn will earn more as well. For new agents lacking travel-specific experience, The Travel Institute’s TRIPKIT introductory course provides industry newcomers with the foundation they need to be successful, whether they choose to specialize or generalize. After completing the course, they can build consumer-, employer-, and self-confidence by taking the Travel Agent Proficiency, TAPSM, exam, which confirms whether they’ve mastered travel industry basics. For more experienced agents, our CTA®, CTC®, and CTIE® certification programs ensure agents continue to gain advanced skills throughout their careers. And, of course, there are countless courses that dive into the details on specific destinations, industry products and services, and more.
