Ensemble launches knowledge-building certification program

Ensemble has announced the launch of a new Certification Program that’s designed to enhance the knowledge, skills, and expertise of its members – no matter where they are in their career.

Featuring a suite of Specialist Certifications tailored to meet the needs of travel professionals, the certifications span various product verticals, destinations, and niches, ensuring that members can deepen their expertise in areas most relevant to their business.

Some of the key Specialist Certifications include:

• Cruise Certifications: Covering Iconic, Luxury, River, and Expedition cruises.
• Insurance Specialist: Focusing on the critical aspects of travel insurance.
• Luxury Specialist: Addressing the unique demands and expectations of luxury travelers.
• Celebrations Specialist: Expertise in destination weddings and honeymoons, anniversaries, milestone birthdays and more.
• Regional Certifications: In-depth knowledge of destinations including Europe, Africa, Mediterranean, Southeast Asia and more.

The program is structured with tiered benefits that cater to members at different levels of expertise—Novice, Expert, and Certified. Benefits of certification include:

Reduced rates and/or Complimentary Access to Ensemble Events: Including Horizons, the annual consortium wide event and Summit for owners and managers.

Priority Hosting for Ensemble Hosted Cruises: Allowing members to showcase their expertise directly to clients.

“Ensemble’s new Certification Program reflects our ongoing dedication to our members' growth and success,” said Kristina Boyce, senior vice-president of operations at Ensemble. “By offering these specialized certifications, we are equipping our members with the tools they need to excel in today’s competitive travel landscape and reinforcing our commitment to being a trusted partner in their professional development.”

Earlier this year, Ensemble partnered with The Travel Institute to introduce its Ensemble Luxury Certification Program.

The program was designed to equip members with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in the luxury travel market.

Ensemble says it will also launch a Destination Honeymoon and Wedding Specialist program with The Travel Institute this month as part of the launch of its newest member Circles community, Celebrations.
