I feel we should have a more regulated system of accreditation within the travel business, which would weed out scammers and members of the public just joining the industry for the perks.
I started at Park Lane College with Woodrow Travel in 1986 and completed a Youth Training Scheme apprenticeship, which runs for between two and three years. I felt extremely lucky to have this opportunity as the business already had another student starting.
During this time, we completed exams and we had to have at least two years' experience with an agency before anyone would potentially employ you.
