Every year, The Travel Institute trains more than 2,000 students at varying levels of experience. As a TRIPKit℠ student, you will learn about each segment of the travel industry, how to book travel, set realistic goals, connect with the right networks, and become a travel professional. TRIPKit provides a solid foundation by providing the knowledge and confidence needed for success, while passing our TAP® test will help you demonstrate your new knowledge to colleagues and consumers.
Once on your way, you will travel, share best practices, and become a global ambassador. Sounds wonderful—and it is—but you need to know that being a true professional requires a disciplined approach, along with an understanding of how the distribution chain works, the role of technology, marketing, networking know-how, and more. You’ll also need patience and a deep desire to work with different personalities and counsel all to ensure they make the best travel choice for themselves. In addition to being a travel expert, you’ll also learn to be a savvy business person.
Consider who and what will give you the tools you need for success. The Travel Institute provides the education, but you provide the commitment, drive, network- and relationship-building that’s just as important. Along the way, we’ll be here to coach, encourage, support, and celebrate your success.
