The kids are off for two weeks, enjoying a much need (?!?!?!?!?) vacation from school. We have made it through Christmas and today is Boxing Day, a day of deeply discounted shopping. Instead of shopping, and while I have a brief period with no children, I have decided to study, study, study.
The life of a travel agent, as I have discovered, is right up my alley (even more so than I thought). Not only do I get to travel to glamorous places and see the best kept secrets, but I get to continue my education on a daily basis. I absolutely love to learn, and what better education, then becoming a specialist for a destination or supplier. This helps me to help my clients find exactly what they are looking for.
Currently I am working on two separate specialist courses. One is to become a Korean specialist, and the other is to earn my Master’s degree through the Norwegian Cruise Line training.
With the Norwegian training, I have already earned both the Associates and Bachelors degrees. I can honestly say the Norwegian training is incredibly in-depth.
I think the training is very important to any agent. We all want to strive to be the best for our clients. But, it is also very important to our clients. Anyone who is using an agent currently, knows why they go through all of this training. It really is a career with a lifetime of learning. For those who are not using an agent, you may way to contact one. You will find a person with great destination and supplier knowledge. We work incredibly hard to be the best for everyone.
Sure, it is part of my career, but I really do enjoy all of the learning.
