The list of courses doesn't say anything about learning Sabre®. Is this included as
part of the certification?
Our automated courses are taught on RTS© (Reservation Training System) which simulates the Sabre® system.

Do I need to be certified to work in the travel industry?
While there is no "official" certification required to work in the travel industry TravelCampus does offer certificates of completion. TravelCampus courses are based on Education Systems'
material and are approved by ISTTE. Educations Systems is an ASTA member.
Upon successfully finishing the series of courses for any of the career tracks, you will receive a certificate of completion.
I have been told I need an IATA or ARC number to sell travel. Is this true and how do I get one?
ARC (Airlines Reporting Corporation) and IATA (International Air Transportation Association) are two organizations that control the flow of funds between suppliers, agencies and consumers. They issue numbers to qualified organizations which are then recognized by suppliers in order to issue tickets, sell products and earn commissions. You must meet certain requirements to obtain an ARC or IATA number. There are differing levels of participation, and there are other organizations which offer numbers, such as CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) and ARTA's TravelSellers program (Association of Retail Travel Agents) which will allow you to use the number to claim commissions. Again, you must meet the requirements of the issuing organization to obtain the number. The number "legitimizes" your business because the supplier knows you have met certain requirements. Signing up with a host agency, such as Joystar, Montrose Travel, Travel Marketing Solutions or World Travel Management, which are part of TravelCampus' Independent Agent Program, allow use of their ARC and/or IATA (or other) numbers in exchange for a commission split. More information on host agencies, etc. can be found in the Independent Agent Program.
