Counsellors with a CTC – Certified Travel Counsellor or CTM – Certified Travel Manager designation are recognized as being amongst the highest qualified travel advisors.

Certification is the mark of excellence, as it recognizes an individual’s competence in their occupation and provides a marketable credential to use.
“This is an excellent opportunity for those advisors who are not yet certified to take advantage of considerable savings,” said Wendy Paradis, ACTA president. “Get certified and become a CTC/CTM to enhance your professional credentials and stand out in the industry!”
Paradis said there are many advantages to being certified, including the following:
· Gain recognition as a leader in the Canadian travel industry
· Propel your career with enhanced opportunities for advancement
· Enjoy priority access and exclusive rates for Experiential Educational Experiences
· Access special pricing for industry conferences
For agents who want to get started but aren’t sure how the process works, ACTA is holding a webinar on December 9th at 1pm called “Elevate Your Career: Understanding CTC/CTM Certification and How to Get Started” Monica Perez Garcia, Manager of Education & Certification at ACTA, will reveal the transformative impact of CTC and CTM certifications. From eligibility criteria to exam preparation, Monica will walk advisors through the process so they can confidently move forward on the certification journey.
