Online training to be created for GTMC members
Travel training portal Online Travel Training has become an associate member of the Guild of Travel Management Companies.
An in-house online training platform to be called ‘The Business Channel’ is to be developed for members as part of the tie-up.
Guild partners and associates will be able to make their product training available via the web-based channel for members, who will be able to access generic training modules at no cost.
This would allow suppliers to host tailored content and promotional messages for individual members, which only their own staff can see, turning the ‘Business Channel’ into a rich trade support tool for suppliers, as well as a training and staff development tool for members.
Online Travel Training chairman Simon Beeching said: “Some 15 member companies of all sizes have already expressed positive interest in using the new ‘Business Channel’ when it is launched this summer.
"Early feedback indicates that what is particularly appealing is the idea of emphasising training messages with online quizzes at the end of each training module so that product knowledge is re-inforced and the effectiveness can be measured.”
