Training and support that meets you where you are.

Whether you’re brand new to travel or bringing years of experience, we’ll help you build the skills and systems you need to grow.
New to the Travel Industry

Starting a career in travel is exciting, and we want to make sure you’re set up to succeed from day one.

Step 1: Foundational training through The Travel Institute. We recommend starting with TRIPKIT, a self-paced program from our partner, The Travel Institute. You’ll learn the essentials of the travel industry: how bookings work, supplier relationships, destination knowledge, and the business fundamentals you need to start selling with confidence.

Step 2: Personalized training with your Ellison Support Specialist. Once you’ve completed your foundational training, you’ll be paired with a dedicated trainer/support specialist who will set up a regular training schedule with you. This isn’t generic webinar content. It’s one-on-one guidance tailored to your learning pace, your niche interests, and the areas where you want to build confidence.

Your support specialist will help you with things like:

  • Navigating booking systems and supplier portals
  • Building your first client conversations
  • Understanding commission structures and how to grow your earnings
  • Developing a personal marketing approach that works for you

Step 3: Ongoing support as you grow. Training doesn’t stop after onboarding. As your business develops, you’ll continue to have access to your manager, our back-office team, supplier training opportunities, and the broader Ellison advisor community.

Experienced Agents

If you’re already selling travel, you don’t need to start from scratch. You need a smooth transition and a team that’s ready to support you from day one.

Streamlined setup. We’ll guide you through a focused onboarding process designed to get you up and running quickly.

That includes:

  • Transitioning your existing clients to Ellison Travel & Tours
  • Getting set up on our booking and CRM systems
  • Understanding the tools, technology, and marketing resources available to you
  • Connecting you with our back-office team for ticketing and accounting support

Tailored marketing opportunities. As part of onboarding, we’ll walk you through the marketing support available to you, including co-branded materials, digital tools, and strategies you can use to grow your existing book of business.

Ongoing support. You’ll have access to the same dedicated support as every Ellison advisor: a responsive back-office team, supplier training sessions, and a dedicated support specialist who understands your business and can help you identify opportunities to grow.
