Advanced Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation (Galileo) ADGDS074 | LSTH

Advanced Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Galileo) (ADGDS074) at LSTH

Galileo is one of the long-established GDS platforms, widely used by retail and corporate travel agencies particularly across Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia. The Advanced Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Galileo) (ADGDS074) is for people who want a recognised credential in this specific platform rather than a generic course that brushes against all GDS systems.

The work is built around realistic ticketing workflows: creating and managing bookings, understanding fare construction, handling reissues and refunds, applying ticketing rules and the customer-service routines that wrap around them. It is hands-on, system-focused study.

Why Galileo Skills Have Staying Power

Travel agencies and corporate travel managers often standardise on one GDS. If your local market runs heavily on Galileo, that is the platform employers will ask about by name. The Advanced Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Galileo) (ADGDS074) is a clean signal that you have studied that platform specifically, which is harder for recruiters to evaluate from a generic CV line.

Who This Advanced Diploma Suits

Travel agency staff moving from advisory or sales into ticketing.
Aspiring travel consultants wanting a hands-on platform credential.
Cabin crew or ground-handling staff broadening into commercial roles.
International students aiming at travel-trade ticketing careers.

Career Pathways

Graduates of the Advanced Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Galileo) (ADGDS074) typically progress into ticketing executive, reservation agent, travel consultant, fares-and-ticketing assistant and back-office support roles at agencies, consolidators and corporate travel desks.

How the Programme Is Delivered

The programme is delivered through a mix of practical platform-based work, supported by theory on fares, ticketing rules and customer-service standards. Online study is supported where appropriate.
