Now there is a tool that validates agent certification, elevates professionalism, and recognizes higher educational achievement.

An important tool in the travel agent evaluation process, digital credentials launched in 2019 to offer quick, easy, online confirmation of an agent’s CTA^®, CTC^® or CTIE^® status using The Travel Institute as a third-party source. The gold standard in travel agent education for nearly 60 years, certification through The Travel Institute affirms a travel professional’s drive and commitment to consumers, colleagues, and the travel industry while also assuring consumers they have found a qualified, capable travel agent. Agents who earn their digital credentials appear in our Certified Travel Agent Directory, combating a lack of industry-wide education standards at a time when technology, specialization and evolving industry dynamics make education and experience more critical than ever.
