Get into International Travel Consulting. Talk about travel all day long, have fun and travel around the world with up to 75% off the normal fares. Too good to be true? Not for travel consultants.

Working as an International Travel Consultant is one of the most exciting jobs in the world. You get to travel the world and you get paid.

International Travel Consultants get some fabulous benefits, including up to 75% of world travel—that's airfares and accommodation. This is a fabulous industry and one that you will want to stay in for a lifetime. Many people say that once they have started in the industry they never leave.

Whether you are preparing for work in the travel industry, looking for a career change, or even if you are already working in travel and have a requirement to upgrade your skills, you will find this course provides an opportunity to gain that edge.

Breaking into the travel consulting industry is a lot to do with having the right approach, knowing how to prepare travel itineraries, understanding fares and ticketing, and using the computer reservations system. With this course you will be learning what you need to know in order to get into the industry. You will also be learning the nationally set competencies required by many employers.

This nationally recognised program provides training in the Computer Reservation Systems (CRS). Being able to use CRS is essential in the travel industry. With our course you may choose to learn your CRS components with either Galileo, Sabre or Amadeus. These are the main CRS software systems used by travel agents in Australia and overseas. If you have no specific preference we recommend Galileo, as it is the most widely used computer reservations system in Australia.

The online CRS component (50 hours) begins about halfway through the course. At this time you will need to have access to a computer. You can learn at home, at work, in an Internet cafe, in a library or anywhere else provided you have a computer with Internet access. When you are ready to undertake your CRS training you will be issued with a user ID and password.

The CRS section of the Course covers the five key components required by the industry:

• Airline Reservations
• Automated Fares and Ticketing
• Car Rental Reservations
• Hotel Rental Reservations
• Tour Reservations

If you want, you can even go on and become and independent Travel Agent with your own travel agency or setting up as an agent from home. The course meets all the agency requirements.
