The travel counselor training program is designed for individuals seeking entry into the tourism industry. It uses the most popular commercially used computer reservation software to introduce students to domestic and international air travel, vacation packages, tour operations, ticketing, cruises, sales methods and job-search skills. The medical office certification programs are designed to deliver immediate job skills in areas experiencing rapid growth, including training in new coding and billing requirements for health-care providers and medical transcription. Upon completion of these programs, students should have the required training to apply for full-time jobs.
