"How Can I Become A Travel Agent?"

Being well traveled is a plus but does not necessarily qualify you to be a travel agent.  You should enjoy dealing with people face to face and over the telephone.

Travel agents can work in an office, full time, and/or at home in their leisure time.  The 1st Class Travel and Tourism Academy is licensed in the state of Pennsylvania by the Dept. of Education.  We have been servicing the travel industry since 1990 training employees to work for travel agencies, airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, tour operators, cruise lines and home-based agents

The Importance of Classroom Training

Would you hire a defense lawyer if all of his training was completed online?  Would you trust a doctor to treat you if he had no prior hands-on experience? 

Online classes are informative but the retention is short lived and without instructional supervision, mistakes go unnoticed.  Travel and tourism is a hands-on industry, requiring precision and accuracy.  Mistakes are costly and on the job training is time consuming.  We believe that learning is not achieved only by reading but also by doing.  Our hands-on program encourages students to ask questions, practice what they've learned, in addition to learning from their mistakes.

Studying and testing are essential in the learning process.  Online classes can’t evaluate the students strengths and weaknesses and therefore individuals are unable to focus more on their weak points.  Exams measure how much a student retains and comprehends the lessons taught.  Studying isn’t required to pass online classes since students can look up answers during tests.

Which Travel Agent would you feel confident booking through?   The one with practical hands-on training or the one who read through the online course?    

We offer lifetime job placement assistance for all graduates who complete our Travel & Tourism Training course.
