Tour company Collette just announced the launch of Collette University 201, building on its existing self-paced learning platform created exclusively for travel advisors.

Developed alongside advisors from across the industry, the program offers streamlined, accessible training modules to help professionals sharpen their expertise, reinforce their brand positioning and grow their earning potential.

The update introduces a collection of informational modules organized into two tracks: one geared toward advisors with more than five years of experience, and one crafted for those earlier in their careers with up to five years in the field. The format is designed to deliver content that feels relevant and immediately applicable to any experience level. 

"Supporting our travel advisors is truly at the heart of everything we do at Collette," said Christian Leibl-Cote, executive vice president of global sales at Collette. "We built Collette University 201 to meet advisors where they are — giving them the chance to learn in the ways that work best for them … Our goal is simple: to empower advisors with the tools, knowledge and confidence they need to grow their business and match clients with exceptional guided travel."

New modules will debut every other month, spanning topics including brand storytelling, in-depth product education, business growth strategies and sales confidence. As the series progresses, advisors will build a better understanding of Collette's portfolio and develop the skills needed to connect clients with guided travel experiences that truly fit.
