Will I be Sabre-certified after this diploma?

The course is built around Sabre platform skills, but vendor-issued certifications are managed directly by Sabre. We recommend you check the latest Sabre certification programme for the formal credential you want to layer on top.

Is this the same as an Amadeus course?

No. Amadeus and Sabre are different GDS platforms with different command structures. Many ticketing professionals eventually learn both; this Advanced Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System focuses on Sabre.

Do I need airline experience to enrol?

No prior airline experience is required. The course teaches both the platform and the underlying fares and ticketing concepts.

Yes. On-campus, online and distance options are available.

How long does the course take?

Most learners complete the Advanced Diploma in nine to twelve months. Faster paths are possible for full-time study.

Advanced Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation (Sabre) | HICL

Advanced Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Sabre) at HICL

The Advanced Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Sabre) is built around the practical command of the Sabre GDS — the system millions of bookings flow through every day. If you want a job in airline ticketing, a corporate travel desk, a tour operator back office or a high-volume travel agency, you will need to be quick and accurate inside a GDS, and Sabre is one of the two or three platforms that actually matters.

This qualification is hands-on. The aim is to build the muscle memory of pricing, ticketing, re-routing and refund handling in real working conditions rather than the polished demo conditions of a marketing video.

Why GDS skills still matter

The travel industry talks a lot about NDC, direct connect and disintermediation, but the day-to-day reality of a ticketing operation is still the GDS. Reissues, partial refunds, voluntary and involuntary changes, IROPs management — these are still done at command level by people who can navigate cryptic faster than they can navigate a web form. The Advanced Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Sabre) keeps that practical focus.

Who This Diploma Is For

Travel agency staff moving into ticketing or refunds roles.
New entrants to the travel industry who want a recognised platform credential.
