"When the opportunity came up to take the Travel Best Bets Academy online I jumped at the chance. I had always seen Claire Newell advertising on Global and had admired her both professionally and personally. This course far exceeded my expectations.
The section on knowing your clients and how to decipher different travel personalities was thought-provoking to me as I was able to identify myself and others under these types. The segments on airfares, how to read the coding on tickets, and different modes of transportation were very detailed and easy to understand. I learned far more than I thought I would. The chapter on social media, branding, marketing and specialization were particularly helpful to me as they really gave me somethings to think about when setting up my own home based agency."

"I am so thankful to Travel Best Bets for creating such a detailed and practical course! I have always loved planning trips for myself and others but never knew how to go about making it a career. I loved that I could access everything I needed right from the course website and never had to go looking for anything. Highly recommend for anyone in search of a career change and a side project."

“I knew I needed to change careers and I have always loved planning vacations for myself, family and friends. I never knew anything about becoming a travel agent. Thanks to Claire Newell, I have learned the ins and outs of planning dream vacations - all through the Travel Best Bets Academy. The TBB Academy is easy to understand and goes over important small details, ensuring that you have the necessary information to plan the trip that best suits your client. The greatest perk about this amazing training program is that is is completely online. You can learn it all when you have those pockets of time available, or you can full-on immerse yourself. You choose!”
