It is my privilege and pleasure to recommend Daija Zimbrick and the Galileo Travel School. I discovered this resource via a link on the ASTA website, which gave me confidence to proceed. What an excellent choice that proved to be. The training was convenient, the responsiveness of Daija and the School was truly excellent-virtually 7/24 which is the way I work as well. I have remained connected with Daija as my mentor because of my respect and admiration for her competence, experience, wisdom and caring! I treated my materials from the school very carefully so that I would have the material as ongoing reference. It was so well presented. I felt that the learning from this school truly did prepare me for a career in travel. I would be happy to talk further about my experiences with this tremendous resource if that is of any value.

Galileo Travel School has not only given me a thorough understanding of the travel industry as a whole, but has
taught me specific skills that will enable me to become a professional and successful home-based agent. I passed my
TAP exam and have already found a host agency so I can begin selling travel immediately. I am immersed in my
training with Expedia CruiseShipCenters. I appreciate my teacher’s responsiveness and will recommend her to
anyone.
Thank you so much for your help in guiding me through travel school. It’s been a really great experience for me and
the results will bring great benefits to me and my family. Sincerely, Wendy, Colorado
After I completed the Galileo Travel School I obtained a travel agent position with an agency in Colorado. It is a very fast paced travel agency specializing in travel for Production companies and Entertainment groups. When I completed the course, I was somewhat unsure of how helpful it would be to me. When I interviewed with the agency, the owner was very impressed with my choice to do the Galileo Travel course. It gave me the foot in the door that I needed to get a job as a Travel Agent. Since I have been actually working, I have found everything I learned to be very helpful. The agency uses the Sabre system instead of the Apollo system, but I have found them to be very similar. There is a lot to learn, but the terminology and the travel concepts I learned in the Galileo Travel course have put me that much further along in the process of learning the travel business.

Ordering an on line travel agent program off the Internet was literally a leap of faith. It was a large sum of money for an unknown product. Some programs seemed to be a real scam, not offering a lot of education and just wanting to sell a product. I love to travel, I am a registered nurse. I felt Galileo offered a real education. I was still nervous until my books arrived. Once they were here after reviewing them I was very pleased. I knew I was going to actually learn about the travel industry. I hope to someday work part time for an agency. People at work have come to me to discuss travel for a long time because I am so enthusiastic about all their travels as well as sharing my own. I enjoy studying and doing the workbook. The web sites are very educational as well. I do miss being with other students who share travel interests. I hope to be able to sell travel packages someday, especially cruises and Hawaii trips. Thank you Daija for always responding so quickly when I email you. Connie, Fresno
I have to say that I enjoy your online program which is easy to follow, user friendly, and provides lots of information. The web activities are interesting and fun to do. The textbook informs me what I want to learn and know about the industry. Moreover, thank you for your patient and replying my emails and questions in a timely fashion. Also, I enjoy doing the assignments and learning a lot, can't wait to start my home based business when I complete the program. Thanks. Sincerely, I. L.
