Sadly, many online courses are rarely updated because course providers get busy creating new courses and neglect their existing ones. We, on the other hand, are an accredited training company serving international job seekers and working with schools, colleges and organisations all over the world.

We have a very real commitment to our clients and students to ensure that our courses are always kept up-to-date. Our business depends on it.

This course is no different and has been created by industry experts. Updates are carried out regularly so as to always be in line with changes to best practice and regulatory authority guidelines and requirements.

On average it takes between 25 – 40 hours to complete the course but there are no time limits or restrictions on when you must complete this course.

It might take you a week, a month or a year to complete the course. That’s up to you. But this is one of the great benefits of e-Learning; it is completely flexible because you have the ability to choose to study at times and places and at a pace that is comfortable and convenient to you.

The course system is available 24 hours a day.

Your overall passing grade is calculated as you move through the course and complete each module test. Your final score is an overall percentage grade of all 18 tests and is printed on to your final pass certificate.

There are no time-limits for completing individual modules and no time limits for taking the tests. However, once you decide to start a test it must be completed in one go. You cannot stop a test midway through and return to it later.

You can view your course history and your current overall grade at anytime during the course.

We have created an advanced self-assessment testing system designed to ensure an effective learning experience.

At the end of each module there is one self-assessment test (18 in total). Each test has a minimum passing score which you must achieve before you can move onto the next module in the course. You can take each module test as many times as you like until you pass, at which point your passing results are logged on our national database and contribute towards your final score.

Our testing system uses an advanced algorithm to assess your results and calculate your score instantly. This means no more waiting days or weeks for an assessor to mark your results and get back to you, like other more outmoded courses.

There is no upper age limit to enrol onto this course. Although this industry has always traditionally been a more younger industry, many tour operators are now looking to hire mature applicants who can bring strong customer service or travel experience to their organisation. What’s more holidaymakers often prefer dealing with a more understanding “mature” rep, than a young upstart!

However when it comes to working as a holiday rep, it’s important that you’re in a good state of health and have high levels of energy and enthusiasm for the job. If you can demonstrate this you can be asset to any tour operator.

For most positions and companies, the minimum recruitment age is 18 years, although some companies will only hire from 21 years and above.

If you are under the age of 18 then you can still take the course and achieve your certificate. This way you will be fully prepared and ready to apply when you turn 18. You’ll also have life-time access to the course so you can always refresh yourself on the training modules at a later date.
