The Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) will present the first Fundamentals of Travel Management course on March 14 at the Protea Hotel, Wanderers in Johannesburg.
The course is designed as a guide to the primary components of managed travel. Attendees will learn how each component intersects with the required competencies and skill sets needed in business travel management.
The course teaches participants to maximise cost containment, improve efficiency and create managed travel culture in a company. Attendees will hear course facilitators on the subjects of travel safety and security, travel spending trends and benchmark metrics. An overview of business travel technology will be included along with a comprehensive discussion on travel policy, savings, opportunities and calculating the ROI of a managed travel programme.
The core curriculum consists of an overview of travel management, managing the supplier relationship, security and risk management, travel technology basics and measuring success: trends, forecasting and reporting value.
The course should be taken by administrative assistants and co-ordinators, travel managers new to travel management, regional/district sales managers for travel suppliers new to travel management and anyone needing to gain a better understanding of business travel management practices.
The fee, including final exam, is R2 125 for GBTA/ITMSA members and R2 750 for non-members.
