Should I take Amadeus, Sabre or Apollo if I'm new to the travel industry?

It depends on the market you're targeting. Amadeus is dominant across much of Europe and the Middle East, Sabre in many North American and Asian markets, and Apollo in particular accounts. Pick by the employer or region.

Is this certificate a vendor certification?

No — it's an LSTH-delivered certificate covering Amadeus workflows. Amadeus's own vendor certifications are a separate route. Admissions can clarify what is and isn't included.

How long does the certificate take?

It is a short certificate-level programme. Duration depends on intake and pace, confirmed at enrolment.
