People have been hungry to get trained and started. Despite some of the challenges with travel abroad, people are still booking their holidays whether it be 2021, 2022, or 2023.
Whether it be closer to home with a Staycation or jetting off to sunny Spain (our top-selling destination last week) our franchisees are continuing to see an appetite for last-minute trips, 2021 Christmas markets, Summer 2022, and big lifetime trips for 2023! You can read more about Staycation bookings here.
Every training group we’ve hosted so far for this year has sold out. That’s why we’ve had to put on an additional training date in September to meet demand.
The next training dates are…
- 16th August – 1 space left
- 6th September – 1 space left (Evenings and weekend training)
- 18th October – 50% full
- 8th November – Availability
- 29th November – Availability
If you’d like to attend one of these dates, or if you’re considering your options for training, the best next step is to request a call back by clicking here.
But you’ll need to be quick. We expect Paul’s diary to fill up fast with the announcement of these new dates.
A quick reminder: You can pay just a small deposit and train later this year for the Pro package and above. And the Lite package is still just £2,995 to get started.
That deposit will secure your training place on a date that suits you best. View our upcoming training dates here.
