Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I expect results?
That depends on how quickly you can make those inner shifts. Some program participants are ready to go and open their travel business in a very short time frame, sometimes even a few weeks, while others have a bit more work to do first.
It also depends on the time and energy you can readily commit to getting started. Some agents start their businesses as part-time while keeping their full-time employment, others go all-in right away.
That’s the great part about this business, you can do either it just depends on your preferences and personal goals.
How can I guarantee that I will have success in record time?
Do all of your homework. Be totally committed to your success. Understand that this is a process – yes, a proven one – that works if you take action and implement all of the steps.

You will also receive an industry-recognized watermarked logo that you can proudly display on your website, and in your marketing campaigns. Cost of taking the certification exam is included, there is no extra fee.
Are you an ASTA affiliated travel school?
Yes, our training is ASTA affiliated. ASTA (American Society of Travel Advisors), is the leading global advocate for travel advisors and they are recognized industry-wide.
However, we are much more than a traditional travel school and consider our programs to be an evolved model by delivering education with real-world execution.
Think: travel industry education + consulting + tools + resources + support. This formula is what allows our clients to achieve such incredible results compared to traditional travel schools.
How does this program compare to other travel agent training programs?
Great question! Good vetting should be part of your screening process no matter who you hire to support you in your growth initiatives. Please don’t invest in anyone (even us) until you’ve vetted them to see if they are a match for you.
Remember, the cheapest solutions are rarely the best for tangible results. It’s always best to go with someone who works in our industry and can show you proven results. We have more than 100 case studies from our clients – you can watch some of them here. Also, here’s a free checklist to help you see how we measure up against the competition.
Quite simply, the Careers On Vacation Mastermind™ is the only program of its kind that can deliver the type of results that we do in our industry. We are unique in many ways, but to point out some of the most important differences between us and everyone else out there…
- Everything we train has been tested in actual travel agencies (you’d be surprised how many “coaches” don’t actually have their own agency).
- Cyndi started in the Travel Industry more than 30 years ago and has a track record of running multiple 6-figure businesses for over a decade.
- We invest 100K+/year (so you don’t have to) on ad testing and marketing to make sure we are bringing you the best, highest performing marketing solutions.
- You have access to the best experts, which is typically out of reach for a home-based agent's budget.
- We have the most amazing team of coaches (all travel veterans) ready to support you in making your vision a reality.
- You get personalized, custom support – this is not an e-program that will end up sitting on your hard drive collecting dust.
We're here to teach you everything we know and, more importantly, what to avoid to save yourself years of frustration.
