Is the Certificate in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Sabre) the same as a Sabre vendor certificate?

Sabre itself runs vendor certifications through its own platform. The HICL certificate teaches the system and prepares you to use it professionally; pursuing Sabre's vendor-issued credentials in parallel is a sensible move.

Will I learn Amadeus or Galileo as well as Sabre?

This certificate is focused on Sabre. The underlying logic of GDS work transfers well between systems, but separate training is recommended if you also want to work in Amadeus or Galileo environments.

Can I get a job in a travel agency with just this certificate?

Many entry-level travel agency roles list Sabre proficiency as a requirement. Getting hired also depends on customer service skills, language ability and the local labour market.

Do I need to work in the travel industry already to enrol?

No. The Certificate in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Sabre) is open to learners new to the industry and to those already working in it.

Can I study the certificate online?

Yes — online practical sessions on Sabre are common. Access arrangements and exact schedule are confirmed at enrolment.

How much does the programme cost?

Fees vary by mode and intake. Please contact HICL admissions for the current fee schedule.
