TORONTO — TICO is enhancing its Education Standards Program with a new digital study manual that highlights changes in legislation.

In partnership with education provider Oliver’s, the new flipbook manual will launch in February 2022 as part of Travel Counsellor and Supervisor/Manager certifications. It will feature updated content as well as a more modern appearance and user experience.

Effective Monday, Feb. 28, 2022, TICO exams will be based on the newly revised study manual.

In the future, TICO also has plans to launch new fully interactive online education and continuing education programs that focus on having students apply the program’s regulatory content.

“Enhancing the education program will strengthen travel professionals’ knowledge as they enter the industry, which in turn will benefit the consumers they guide in their travel purchases,” says TICO.

All students who are currently registered for TICO’s Education standards Program have received information about the transition process to the new study manual and exams.

The deadline to write the Travel Counsellor and Supervisor/Manager exams using the current study manual is Sunday, Feb. 27, 2022. After this deadline, students will automatically switch over to the new study manual and exams.
