INTERVIEW WITH THE DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICIAL COURSE ON INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TRAVEL AND EVENT TRAINING

¿
Why is this course in Business Travel and International Events Training created?
It is the answer to the need of an industry in deep change and looking for an urgent professionalization. An official qualification supports this professionalization. Business travel managers need a source of formal training to make them "less expendable" in their companies.

What is the main objective of this course?
To present a complete overview of the current situation and trends in business travel from a professional point of view. This business activity is becoming more and more critical for companies, suppliers and public entities, such as tourist offices. The course will increase the ability of students who achieve this qualification to work as a travel manager or supplier in this sector.

? What does this course offer that is not already included in the wide range of training offered by the UNED or other academic institution?
The format of this course gives us the possibility to adapt the content to the needs of the market in a very practical way. The course is made up of five modules ranging from technology, legal aspects and company responsibilities, to the travel program with its international dimension, events and the most current trends.

Reviewing the course contents, the course can be aimed at many types of students. Who is it designed for?
It is designed for working travel managers, travel agency workers, any type of end supplier and students who want to complete their education with a specialization.
