Example taken from our all-new CTA course
Are you looking to grow your sales, enhance your value with clients, improve your efficiencies, make yourself more marketable – and of course, earn more? The Travel Institute’s all-new CTA Certified Travel Associate course gives you the tools and knowledge to accomplish all those things and much more.
The new curriculum was written by subject matter experts and covers 15 critical areas of study designed to teach you how to be the very best travel professional. The learning experience is in-depth, thought-provoking, and delivered in a variety of blended learning formats. The new CTA program is a practical, real-life approach to your on-the-job success.
Online access to the study materials makes you eligible for future updates, at no additional charge so you always have the most current information.
Being a CTA means that I am now a true professional. In the travel industry, taking the time and dedication to become a CTA signifies someone who cares about their career, and wants to learn as much as possible. Being a CTA verifies to both me and my clients that I am an experienced, professional agent.
Whether you access the materials online or in print, the entire program is all self-paced. That means you determine the schedule and how much time you spend on a particular topic. Some you’ll breeze through. Others, you’ll take a deep dive before moving on. Each module follows the same learning platform that engages you through practice scenarios, application activities and did-you-know tips. Once you enroll in the program, you will have 12 months to complete your studies and take the final exam.
We want to make sure you get the most out of the CTA program, so we’ve established three requirements:
“The CTA course should be the gold standard for anyone selling the Travel experience . . . whether new to the business or a 10-year veteran. “I love the course as much now, as I did when I first completed it. The updates are so relevant in today’s world. The work put in by The Travel Institute to keep this course so fresh and relevant is wildly impressive”
Now there is a tool that validates credentials, elevates professionalism, and recognizes higher educational achievement.
