Online Travel Advisor Training

Set your own pace with our online travel agent class. With a concentrated effort, class participants can complete this course in a matter of days. Others may choose to spread it out over a period of a few weeks.

Upon completion, you will have gathered enough basic knowledge of the travel industry to sell leisure travel as an independent contractor for a host travel agency (or you can explore other start-up options).

LTA Central, our host travel agency, will invite you to apply to sell travel under our banner and we will walk you through the process of setting up your travel business.  If we’re not a good fit for you, you are completely free to explore other opportunities. If you decide to operate as a sole proprietor, the business set-up process can be completed in a matter of days.  If you elect to set up as a corporation, LLC or partnership, the documentation process on your end may take a bit longer.
