Hi Shwanda, this is your business so the timing of it is really up to you. Our online courses are designed to allow you to go at your own pace and learn when it is convenient for you. You can begin booking travel once we've set you up with suppliers so you can access their booking engines, and with myTravelCRM so you can record and manage your bookings. That can take a few business days depending on how busy our team is. You will earn commission for a trip after the client has traveled, and after we've received the commission from the supplier you booked with. We've had agents who have bookings within a week or so, and agents who don't make their first booking for a few months. Either way, our team's goal is to make sure agents feel supported each step of the way and have someone to turn to when they are stuck or have a question. You can learn more on how being a travel agent generally works at www.khmtravel.com/how or by giving us a call at 1-888-611-1220.
