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 Conlin-Hallissey Travel School does offer
certificates of completion. Conlin-Hallissey Travel School 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 Solo Travel or World Travel Management, which are part of Conlin-Hallissey Travel School Independent Agent Program,
allow use of their ARC and/or IATA (or other) numbers in exchange for a commission split.
What are the requirements to successfully complete a course?
You must complete certificate courses within 1 year or less. You must complete individual courses within 90 days or less, score 80% or better on the exam and complete the other requirements of
the course according to the specifications found in the syllabus.
What does each course cost?
The fee for each course is $135 unless otherwise indicated.
What Forms Of Payment Can I Use?
