TPDCo. is looking for folks interested in the Team Jamaica training program. If we get 15 persons to participate they will come to Treasure Beach to host the program vs. having to travel to Mandeville.
This program must be completed before anyone working in the tourism industry can be certified.
It is a great program and very informative and I would encourage anyone who is or has staff working in the tourism industry to participate. I learned a great deal and had a great time when I attended the program.
Please contact Amanda Clarke at amanda.clarke@tpdco.org or call her at 876-961-6182 for further information.
What does being certified mean?
And when are they planning on doing this?
I am interested but would need to know if i'll be on the island.
For your establishment or your driver to be Jamaica Tourist Board approved the staff of the establishment and the driver needs to attend Team Jamaica.
I do not have any date yet as we need 15 persons signed up before they will look at when they can hold the training program. It lasts for two weeks.
Rebecca, what value is there to being JTB certified/approved?
I looked on both TPDCO and JTB's web sites and didn't see any info on what it offers.
what is the cost to attend the training?
To follow-up and bottom line. Both are great questions and I think you would get a better answer if you asked Amanda Clarke at TPDCo at amanda.clarke@tpdco.org or call her at 876-961-6182 for further information.
Maybe you can share her answers with us.
