When you join the Travel Academy, you’re doing far more than booking holidays and earning commission, you’re building a business for the future. You can employ people, and you could, if you wanted to, sell the business on. It’s an exciting prospect and it puts you in control of your own career and destiny.

At Travel Counsellors we realise the importance of reward and recognition and this was the inspiration behind the Travel Counsellors franchise.

• When you become a Travel Counsellor Associate you will not only be making travel arrangements, you will also be building a business that you could sell on at some point in the future, should you wish to do so.
• Once you have graduated as a Travel Counsellor you have the potential to employ staff to help you grow your business.
• Travel Counsellors ask Associates to invest a minimum fee of £10,000 to own their own franchise. This covers all training and set-up costs and the right to use the Travel Counsellors trademark and brand.
• The programme has been awarded accreditation from the Institute of Travel & Tourism for its high standard of training and use of state of the art technology.

On completion of the Travel Academy programme you will qualify as a Travel Counsellor Associate and be ready to launch with confidence your own home-based travel business. You will become a fully-fledged Travel Counsellor when you achieve a minimum sales figure of £120,000 of sales in any 12 month rolling period.

You’ll have the skills, knowledge and systems to organise a holiday, but we’ll expect you to demonstrate the Travel Counsellors natural passion to further your knowledge and skills by embracing some of the dozens of training packages available at no cost. From specialist products, to destinations and customer segments, there’s a whole world of knowledge available.

In addition to the unique Travel Academy training programme and the use of award winning technology, you will get your own personalised webpage and ongoing sales and marketing support that will help you kickstart your business. Take a look at Travel Counsellor Stuart Woodford’s webpage here
