Worldspan Launches New Global Learning Center for Caribbean Agents


Global Learning Center is a Powerful Interface and More Learning Tools

ATLANTA, May 02nd , 2007—Global travel technology provider Worldspan, L.P. is empowering travel agents in the Caribbean through enhanced, cost-free education and training—all via the Web. The Worldspan Global Learning Center has been redesigned, giving this renowned e-learning platform a brand new user interface with simple, intuitive navigation features. A rich and expanded collection of Virtual Classes, Self-Paced Tutorials and other new learning tools are also available, and a powerful Learning Management System has been introduced to help agents track learning progress.

These and coming advancements present exceptional opportunities for travel agents who want to gain or improve technical proficiency, and receive ongoing education. All agents are able to train online at their leisure, free of charge, through any Internet connection.

“The Worldspan Global Learning Center has been an excellent and very convenient resource for me in getting to know the Worldspan system and products,” said Vicky Joseph, travel consultant for Cayman Tours & Travel in George Town, Grand Cayman. “I highly recommend this site to any agent who wants to improve skills, whether they are new to Worldspan, like me, or very experienced. There are great classes for every agent.”

“Worldspan is focused on providing not only the right tools but also the expertise agents need to ensure they are using today’s technologies to their fullest advantage,” said Mike Parks, Worldspan senior vice president – Global Operations and Agency Marketing. “We are committed to helping agents grow through our dynamic e-learning portal.”

Self-Paced Tutorials: Following recent additions, more than 200 Self-Paced Tutorials are available to travel agents in the Caribbean. This growing library helps agents become proficient in using the Worldspan system and products. Tutorials cover the Worldspan Go!SM desktop system; Worldspan’s leading fares and pricing system; how to book flights, car rentals and hotels; how to manage travel agency queues, ticketing and documentation; and much more.

Virtual Classes: Approximately 185 online Virtual Classes are available, featuring new classes for novice and experienced agents alike. Virtual Classes give agents a valuable opportunity to attend live classes with instructors—from the convenience of their offices or homes, at no cost.

More New Resources: New Format Comparison Guides are also available at the Global Learning Center, showing the differences between Worldspan and other GDS formats. Also available are product manuals, quick reference cards (QRC) and pocket format guides to acquaint agents with product functionality.

All-New Learning Management System: The Global Learning Center is fortified with a new tutorial management system that features easy self-enrollment, automated Lost Password functionality and simple navigation to online courses. New reporting tools, which are used to track an agent’s learning progress, offer user-level reports and 30 pre-defined standard reports for use by agents and travel agency administrators.

The Worldspan Knowledge Center: This convenient online resource continues to expand, allowing travel agents to use key words and phrases to quickly find answers to formatting and functionality questions—without missing a beat in productivity.
