Title: ALG Vacations Unveils a New Refresher Course to Keep Travel Advisors Updated
ALG Vacations, a member of the Hilton family, has rolled out a refresher course aiming to bring their travel consultants up to speed on the latest developments concerning the company’s offerings and enhancements. This course is a comprehensive step forward from any normal instruction guide or training module, setting a new standard for learning in the travel industry.
Dubbed as ALGV Pro, this innovative, self-paced, on-demand online learning program allows travel advisors to delve into and engage with the various attributes of the company. It encapsulates information about their destinations, products, services, and brands among other things. Unlike usual online courses, ALGVPro doesn’t ask trainees to revisit past modules. Instead, it presents a fresh approach by focusing on brief modules which encompass any recent updates since their last certification.
ALGVPro’s structure enables advisors to hone in on the most applicable subjects and accomplish the training whenever they find it most convenient. It provides the ease and flexibility to learn and upgrade one’s knowledge without disrupting their daily schedules, providing a unique value-proposition to every advisor associated.
Earning ALGVPro certification brings a plethora of rewards. Travel advisors become eligible for FAM trips, an industry abbreviation for ‘familiarization trips’ which are basically exciting exploratory trips to various locations as part of their professional learning. Apart from this exclusive opportunity, advisors stand a chance to win several enticing prizes.
Moreover, under this program, travel advisors can secure up to five Continuing Education Units (CEUs) offered by The Travel Institute. They can accumulate an additional two CEUs upon successful completion of the ALGVPro course. Thus, ALGVPro offers multi-faceted benefits, ranging from recognition to learning and rewards.
Expressing commitment towards supporting travel advisors, Jacki Marks, the Global Head of Trade Brands, stated that the introduction of the ALGVPro Active course highlights their continued effort to provide key tools that enable the advisors to flourish in the rapidly changing travel industry. According to Marks, the course is one of their numerous strategies to ensure that advisors always have the most accurate and current resources at their disposal.
For those who graduate from ALGVPro before October 1, 2024, they will be able to retain their ALGVPro certification status and associated benefits for 2025, given they enroll and complete the ALGVPro Active course. Moreover, advisors can wrap up their course anytime before October 1, 2025.
However, they need to be aware that benefits—including the chance to win prizes and participate in FAM trips—would be postponed starting January 1, 2025, until they obtain the certification. Advisors who get recertified by the end of 2024 will continue to enjoy the full array of ALGVPro benefits without any disruption. For the ones who graduate after October 1, 2024, they won’t need to sign up for the ALGVPro Active.
In summary, ALGVPro is a testament to the forward-thinking approach of ALG Vacations, marking the company’s continued support towards the professional growth of its travel advisors. It signifies an evolution in travel industry learning methods and sets a new benchmark in advisor upskilling programs.
