The Amadeus Training Services team worked with Seneca’s Tourism and Travel Services (TIS) program faculty to create a highly customized curriculum. The program offers students courses at two levels of expertise. The first level, called Certified Professional, serves as an introduction to Amadeus reservations technology and trains students on booking fares, passenger name records (PNRs), and issuing tickets for airlines. The second level, called Certified Expert, trains students in advanced PNRs, profiles, working in Amadeus’ Queue System and training in hotel and rental car and booking solutions.
Launched this January at Seneca, the Amadeus Training Services program is offered to students over a 14-week period per semester and takes place over a full semester’s time. After passing the final exam, students can elect to have their contact information included in Seneca’s database, which is accessible by Amadeus agency customers, who are making hiring decisions.
Vic Pynn, chief operating officer, Amadeus,said the new partnership will deliver quality education to students and deliver more travel professionals to serve the needs of the industry and travelers into the future.
