“Business Travel News is excited to offer a comprehensive,
online and self-guided travel management learning platform for anyone who
touches business travel,” said Editorial Director Elizabeth West. “Our industry
is in a moment in which education is a critical component for everyone—whether
they are starting their very first business travel management position or learning
more about distribution nuances that are impacting even the most mature
programs. Having a self-determined learning journey where you pick the
components relevant to you is a new and different approach.”
BTN Academy will offer a comprehensive catalog of courses
covering subjects from how to get started with a travel program structure and
policy to working with supplier categories and how to implement meetings
management and travel risk management. The Academy's courses feature learning
modules, interactive quizzes, best practice guides and will be enhanced with
industry glossaries and additional video content. This approach ensures an
engaging learning experience that facilitates knowledge retention and practical
application.
Learners have the flexibility to choose the courses most
relevant to their needs and interests. A seven-minute orientation video serves
as the starting point, after which learners have the freedom to customize their
learning experience according to their preferences and goals. Successful
completion of courses will be rewarded with certifications, validating the
learners' knowledge and expertise.
“BTN is committed to advancing the travel management
industry by providing accessible and high-quality education,” said Louis
Magliaro, Executive Vice President and Group Publisher for The BTN Group. “BTN
