Certified Travel Industry Executive (CTIE) : Equivalent to CTC, this program is designed for travel professionals in a non-counseling management position. Invest in your career with professional certification.
Travel Introductory Program (TRIP): If you are new to the industry or thinking of starting a travel career, but you don’t qualify yet for one of our certifications, consider ordering our TRIP program.
