Did you know that most suppliers offer their own training certification for agents!? Once you complete their training they award you not only certificates to display your knowledge/certification but also many offer rewards such as discounts and so much more! Before moving on below please read our advisories:
1. Once you complete any certifications please email your certificate via the agency only websites Contact Us form and we will get that added to your website and listing!
2. Almost all have yearly additional training modules added which are required to complete for their rewards. They usually do not warn you of additional training so check every few months.
3. Below are the most requested training programs but almost ALL suppliers offer training and the more you are certified the more sales opportunities you will have! If you cannot find the training modules for a supplier email them and they can point you to them.
4. No continued education is required minus Disney and Universal but we highly highly recommend all that you sell.
5. If the supplier does not have a certificate such as Norwegian then please email us via the website a screen shot of your completed training.
6. We do not manager or own any of the suppliers so please reach out to them directly if you have an issue.
7. 99.9% will require your certification to take part in their rewards such as discounts, and giveaways.
