September will offer travel agent members of the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) the opportunity to save on investing in their future, CLIA says. For a limited time during the CLIA Back to School Sale – August 15 through September 2 – agents who enroll can earn free training and save up to 33 percent.
CLIA’s online training provides opportunities for professional development 24/7/365 through courses that earn 10 to 15 Certification Credits each, CLIA notes.
