Regis' Travel Academy

What can you tell me about Regis Travel Academy?

Regis Travel Academy is a new training school, but is staffed with qualified tutors with over 15years experience. We are based in Wood brook, Trinidad and Tobago.

Why should I study with Regis Travel Academy?

Our tutors have over 15 years experience in the travel industry. Our chief instructor is a qualified IATA tariff instructor with 20 years experience, having worked in the Canada/United Kingdom/U.S.A. ,brining experience from two major airlines (British Airways and Garuda Indonesian Airlines), and corporate travel management experience from working for a major entertainment company (Sony Pictures Entertainment/Sony Music Entertainment)

What skills and qualifications will I need to start applying for jobs?

You definitely need good PC and keyboarding skills, customer relations experience and personal travel also help. It is a good idea to start building up your knowledge and skills base. Why not start with a reservations course (CRS) if you don't know much about the industry and follow that up with a fares/ticketing course - we recommend Sabre for beginners.

What are my chances of getting a job after the course?

If you successfully complete the course material, receive a certificate, prepare a good CV and follow our interview tips, you have a very good chance of finding a position.

We recommend you take any job your are offered, gain some experience, wait at least a year.

What sort of timeframe am I looking at before I can apply for jobs?

Once you have completed and successfully completed a CRS or a Fares/Ticketing course (We recommend both) then you may actively start applying for jobs.

Who wrote these courses, are my tutors in the Travel Industry?

These courses are written by IATA/UFTAA, Virgin/GMTC.All, all our directors, staff, writers and tutors are involved in the travel industry with many years experience and professional education qualifications.Regis Travel Academy offers a range of diverse courses ranging from Travel/Tourism to Airline Fares/Ticketing. Our courses lead to internationally recognized qualifications. Through IATA (International Air Transport Association), UFTAA (Universal Federation of Travel Agents Association), Virgin Atlantic and the Guild of Travel Managements Companies (GTMC).We also provide GDS (Global Distribution System) training on Amadeus and Sabre. All the above courses are industry relevant and prepare the student for immediate employment with any major airline or travel agency in the world.

Can I pay in installments?

As most of our courses are single units and the course fees very keenly priced, we do required full payment on registration as you get immediate access to all course content. We can, however, offer a payment plan of 2 equal payments (TT$1500.00) for the Computer Reservations courses.

To get a job in travel, how many of these courses should I take?

If you have good PC and keyboarding skills, have had a job with customer service experience and some personal travel experience, it should not be too difficult to enter the travel industry.

We suggest you come in for a consultation, about the travel industry and then take a CRS/GDS course Sabre or Amadeus. This will give you the knowledge and skills to apply confidently for an entry level position.

Do I need to be disciplined to take this course?

You do need to be able to set aside a certain amount of time each day or every second day for optimal benefit of the interactive skills courses. If you leave too long between lessons you will forget and have to revise material thus wasting time that could be better spent. Some people study only every weekend and still do very well, a passion to work in the Travel Industry certainly helps.
