Will airlines accept this diploma instead of their own training?

Most airlines run their own induction even for experienced GDS operators. The diploma shows you can work fluently in Sabre — the airline training adds carrier-specific procedures on top.

Do I need previous travel-industry experience to enrol?

No prior experience is required, though comfort with computers and an interest in airline operations both help you make faster progress.

Can I study the ADGDS073 fully online?

Distance-learning arrangements are available for some intakes, with the understanding that Sabre is software-led so you need a reliable setup. Admissions can confirm the current options.

How long does the course take?

Duration depends on intake and mode. Full-time tends to move quickly; part-time stretches over more weeks. Admissions can map this out for you.

What does the ADGDS073 cost?

Fees vary by mode and intake. Contact LSTH admissions for current pricing.

Advanced Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Sabre) (ADGDS073) at LSTH

Most people only see ticketing when something goes wrong with their booking. Behind every reissue, every split PNR, every change-of-itinerary email, there's a GDS operator quietly fixing it. The Advanced Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Sabre) (ADGDS073) trains you to be one of those operators — specifically on Sabre, which remains one of the most-used GDS platforms in travel retail and airline operations.

This is a working-airline qualification, not a tourism appreciation course. Expect command-driven workflows, fare construction logic & the kind of attention to detail that keeps a passenger's journey intact.

Why Sabre, and Why Now

The travel industry is rebuilding around higher-volume bookings, more dynamic pricing and tighter compliance on ticketing rules. Agents who can navigate Sabre confidently are still in real demand — in travel agencies, tour operators, corporate travel desks and airline reservation centres. The Advanced Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Sabre) (ADGDS073) is structured around that demand.

Who Should Take the ADGDS073

People aiming at travel-consultant or reservations-agent roles.
Existing travel-agency staff who've only ever worked on one GDS and want a second.
Ground-staff and customer-service hires wanting to handle ticketing requests in-house.
Career-changers attracted to airline operations and the back-office side of travel.

Career Pathways

Graduates of the Advanced Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Sabre) commonly move into reservations agent, ticketing executive, travel consultant, corporate travel desk, or BSP / IATA-related back-office positions. Sabre fluency is also useful for tour-operator booking teams. The diploma supports those routes but doesn't replace airline-specific induction training, which most employers add on top.

How the Course Runs

The course is practical and software-led. You'll need consistent access to a computer during your training. On-campus and distance modes are available depending on intake. Module sequencing & class schedule are confirmed at enrolment.

Entry Requirements

Completion of secondary school (or international equivalent).
IELTS 5.5–6.0 or equivalent for international applicants.
Comfortable working on a keyboard — Sabre is a heavily command-driven system.
Minimum age 18 at enrolment.
