The world is a big place but luckily the virtual world<br />
of online training is accessible to all, 24/7. Laura<br />
Gelder looks at the latest training out there<br />
A<strong>Selling</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> survey conducted<br />
last month showed that online<br />
training is still held in high regard<br />
- 78% said web courses are ‘very useful’<br />
or ‘excellent training for agents’.<br />
In fact, 80% of agents surveyed had<br />
participated in online training courses and<br />
they were listed as the second most popular<br />
training resource after trade magazines.<br />
We last spoke about online training in<br />
the December issue, tying in with the peak<br />
season for agents pursuing professional<br />
development, just prior to the peak selling<br />
months in the New Year. But as peak<br />
holiday time looms, many agents will<br />
be knuckling down to training over the<br />
summer months too and there is a<br />
raft of new options out now.<br />
