My experience at Thomas Cook-Centre of Learning has been a perfect blend of fun filled days, practical knowledge and learning that gave me a different approach towards the travel industry altogether. The fun filled days of Christmas Party, Navratri and Friendships day celebrations and the Study Trip have been memorable. Even the learning sessions by the tour managers and trainers weren't just informative but also of great assistance. I must say that stepping towards Centre of Learning was the best decision which gave me the opportunity to pursue my career in what I always wanted.

My experience at COL for the last 9 months has been a good one. I got the opportunity to understand tourism as a industry and what role does it play in the market. In regards to COL the faculties have been very efficient and prompt. The knowledge given by the faculties was in depth and interesting. The infrastructure has been good with equipped technology and PowerPoint presentations. The course also includes a foreign language which would be an add on to our cv. We also had faculties who came from Thomas Cook who helped us to see the real world. Also we were given the opportunity to face interviews. I would like to conclude by saying that thank you for helping me build my knowledge about the tourism industry not only as a whole but also knowledge about every sector in the tourism industry.

Manish M. Nair

IATA is one of the most important organisations with respect to travel & tourism, and i always wanted to get an iata certificate. But getting it done along with my post graduate course seemed to be a tough task at the beginning, but thanks to Susan Madam, with her experience in teaching and her tips in cracking the subject, I was able to clear the Iata Consultant exam with distinction and ranking among the top achievers in the country. Now i hold two certifications in less than year. I would like to thank Thomas Cook COL for providing me the right guidance and the right learning technique because of which today I can proudly call myself an IATA Certified Tour Consultant.

Since the Czech Republic can offer an attractive mix of different tourist products, our aim is to educate leading tour operators and agents in India about the variety of options and showcase them the best of the Czech Republic and to facilitate the knowledge of the destination with their B2C interactions.

TAFI & Centre of Learning had organised a Training Session exclusively for TAFI Members on 21st January 2012. It was a very well set topic by COL - which was most relevant to each and every travel agent / employee. We had around 30+ students who are Front Line Staff / Owners of travel agencies. Our members who attended the session were appreciating the content of the course and the faculty which conducted the Session. We had sent a feedback request mail to the people who attended the course and all of them have appreciated the teachers and the arrangements made by COL. We thank Centre of Learning for setting up such a session exclusively for TAFI Members, and look forward to more such learning sessions for our members.
