TICO Certification

Certificate for the TICO Combined Travel Counsellor and Supervisor/Manager Exam

In Ontario, one of the requirements to sell travel or advise clients regarding travel arrangements is to pass the Travel Industry Council of Ontario Travel Counsellor Exam. I opted to take the TICO Combined Travel Counsellor and Supervisor/Manager Exam so that I am fully certified. I also decided to study for and take the exam before I took any other travel courses. I figured, if I could not pass this required exam, I would not be cut out as a travel agent. I took the exam in April 2018 and glad to say I passed. I am also licensed to sell travel in Ontario under my host agency, TPI. Following is the certificate I received.
