Travel Forever With Flight Centre’s Travel Academy

I left home at 18 with a round the world ticket. I got to see Bangkok, London, LA and Miami, plus a million little towns in between. I saw snake charmers in northern Africa, ate crazy spicy food in Thailand, and watched the sun set over the most beautiful seas. I learned a lot and since then I’ve travelled at every opportunity.
If you’ve done a big solo adventure, taken a Euro trip or even just had a mad weekend holiday up the coast, then you probably know what I mean. Travel is exciting and addictive and incredibly fun.
I feel like it’s everyone’s dream to get paid to travel, so working in the travel and tourism industry seems like a pretty attractive offer. Seriously, who wouldn’t want to get paid to travel the world?
If you’re interested in the travel and tourism industry, you’re in luck, because Flight Centre have a pretty legit opportunity right now for anyone looking to get into the industry. It’s called the Flight Centre Travel Academy and it’s a flexible training course delivered both in the classroom and online. The courses are taught by industry professionals and designed to equip you with the skills to become a retail travel agent. The courses include hands-on booking systems experience – an essential skill for the industry.
It’s available to anyone, whether you’re fresh out of high school or looking to start in a new industry. Those who undertake the course may also be eligible for a student loan, which means the Australian government pays your tuition fees upfront and you pay it back once you start earning above the income threshold (score!).
The courses are totally flexible, so you can enrol anytime and they run in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
So if you fancy a life on the road, eating exotic foods, living it up in hotels and soaking up new cities, check out the program. It could help fuel your travel addiction, show you the world and provide you with a fulfilling career.
