My virtual training at The Travel Academy was priceless! By becoming a virtual student, it allowed me

the opportunity to attend the training I needed to start my new career in travel, while keeping up with

a very busy schedule. Not only was I able to nish my training in just six weeks, I graduated as

an honor student as well. The very rst interview I had ater graduation, I was oered

the position. I interviewed with Frontier Airlines, and they called me back 24 hours

later saying that I was their top candidate or a ull-time customer service

position! I could not have expected a better outcome rom my training at

The Travel Academy. The instructors were top-notch, and had a great

variety o knowledge, and even made learning un and easy. I

highly recommend the virtual training experience or anyone

who cannot attend in person!

Hands-on Training

Hal way through my training at The Travel Academy, there was a job air and Midwest Express hired me

as ticket agent. I really wanted to ollow my dream o becoming a fight attendant, so I decided to use the

lietime placement assistance and attended a fight attendant open house at The Travel Academy. I was

hired by a Delta Regional Airline on the spot! Once again, I was reviewing The Travel Academys job hotline

and I discovered that Emirates Airline was hiring or international fight attendants to be based in Dubai. I

few to Caliornia to interview and I am exited to say that I will be moving to Dubai and working aboard the

worlds largest airplane! As a arm girl rom a small town in Ohio, I never imagined that my training at TTA

would take me this ar.

Fist hied as a ticket agent by Midwest Epess, and was ehied thogh o lietime

and ehied again as an intenational ight attendant with Emiates Ailines
