GRADUATE SPOTLIGHT!

"The Elevate Travel Group (ETG) Travel Agent Training Program is an amazing program!! I had been thinking about becoming a travel advisor for a while, but had no idea where to start. As a busy working mother of two children, I felt overwhelmed with the idea of fitting anything else into my busy schedule. The ETG Travel Agent Training Program made that part easy. The course is online and self-paced. This allowed me to fit the course into my schedule with ease and complete it on my own time. I gained knowledge on Travel Career Development, Exploring the World and Starting a Home-Based Travel Agency. I loved receiving 1-on-1 coaching from Miriam along the way. It was great being part of a mentorship group and knowing that we were all learning together along the way. The once-a-month Zoom meetings featuring preferred travel vendors allowed me to gain valuable insight into the travel industry and specific brands. In addition to support from Miriam along the way, she provided me with a wealth of resources to use when starting my business. I highly recommend the ETG Travel Agent Training Program to anyone considering becoming a travel advisor!"
