Cadogan Holidays opens up training academy to multiples

CADOGAN Holidays is extending its new training academy scheme to multiples, having previously restricted it to independents.

The operator denied the move was to boost numbers and claimed it was already over subscribed with 250 agents interested in taking part.

Sales manager Jayne Scott, who is heading the scheme, said Thomas Cook, American Express and British Airways Travel Shops are interested in participating.

“In areas where there is more demand, we may add more days,” she said.

The training sessions will see agents in a classroom-style environment with presentations from airlines, tourist boards, car hire and insurance companies. Retailers will be tested on their knowledge, with the best agents winning places on educationals. The first sessions will take place at the Royal Cambridge Hotel on May 10.
