AVIATION TRAINING DESTINATIONS B


oost your flight sales by signing up to an aviation


training course. That’s the message from travel agent training provider Online Travel Training (OTT), which offers more than 55 free airline courses on its website. Completing an airline training


course provides agents with “the confidence, knowledge, passion and bravado to sell”, says OTT senior account manager Will Bickmore. What’s more, 91% of travel agents say product training has helped them to increase sales figures, according to a recent OTT survey. But if that’s not enough of an incentive, many airlines offer


amazing rewards to agents who complete the training. Once you’ve passed a course with flying colours, you’ll usually be presented with a shiny certificate to pin up on the wall. You’ll also be entered into prize draws, in which you can scoop anything from vouchers to holidays, model planes to fam trips. Most airline training courses can be found online, allowing you to complete them in your own time, at your desk or even on your smartphone. Here’s a round- up of a few to get you started, but it’s worth looking up more online or getting in touch with the airlines’ trade sales team, to make sure you’re not missing out.
