Trouble-free Travel Planning for PAs
 

course overview

Even if you have never been stuck in Poland without a visa in minus 10 °C, the mere thought of something like that happening to you on a business trip is frustrating beyond belief.

Companies rely on their Personal Assistants to co-ordinate increasingly complex business travel arrangements, while watching costs and cutting through international (and local) red tape.

BizTech has responded to the need for the development of the skills that make travel arrangements run smoothly, and is therefore offering a course which covers the following key topics

It's a small world:

• How to navigate the globe: general geography on a need-to-know basis
• Understanding the implications of time zones, and using web-based calculators
• Understanding just enough about foreign exchange to get a good deal and the best service
• Common visa requirements and how to research more specific ones
• Factors to take into account when preparing an itinerary
• Covering all your bases: travel warnings, weather and health risks
• Travel insurance: when you need more than just the automatic credit card cover
• Did you know…some useful tips and advice from travel experts
