Ensemble has introduced a new Certification Program to enhance its members’ skills and expertise across various travel sectors. This initiative is designed to support travel professionals at all career stages, offering a range of Specialist Certifications tailored to different product verticals, destinations and travel niches.
“Ensemble’s new Certification Program reflects our ongoing dedication to our members’ growth and success,” said Kristina Boyce, Senior Vice President of Operations at Ensemble, in a press statement. “By offering these specialized certifications, we are equipping our members with the tools they need to excel in today’s competitive travel landscape and reinforcing our commitment to being a trusted partner in their professional development.”
Details of Ensemble’s New Offer
The program includes certifications in cruise categories such as Iconic, Luxury, River and Expedition. It also offers specializations in travel insurance, luxury travel and celebrations, which cover destination weddings, honeymoons, anniversaries and milestone birthdays. Additionally, regional certifications are available for destinations including Europe, Africa, the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia.
Structured with tiered benefits, the program caters to members at Novice, Expert and Certified levels. Benefits include reduced rates or complimentary access to Ensemble events like the annual Horizons consortium and the Summit for owners and managers. Certified members also receive priority hosting for Ensemble Hosted Cruises, allowing them to showcase their expertise directly to clients.
Earlier this year, Ensemble partnered with The Travel Institute to launch the Ensemble Luxury Certification Program. This program aims to equip members with the knowledge and skills necessary for success in the luxury travel market. It covers topics such as identifying current trends, understanding luxury travel products, and catering to the needs of luxury travelers. The program also provides strategies for attracting luxury clients, developing a brand and marketing plan, and crafting compelling sales messages.
In addition to the luxury program, Ensemble is set to launch a Destination Honeymoon and Wedding Specialist program in collaboration with The Travel Institute. This new offering aligns with the introduction of Ensemble’s newest member Circles community, Celebrations.
