Travel Counsellors - Becoming a Franchisee Reviews 

I would like to thank Julia Speed for her unwavering support before and during my induction period with Travel Counsellors. No question was too small or too trivial. Also would like to thank Kristina Seed for her enthusiasm and patience during our training period. It made the experience very enjoyable. Thank you both.

Online learning is self led e learning with some daily interaction with a trainer. This may not be suitable for everyone. I have given feedback to TC about varying styles of learning and they have taken my feedback onboard which is greatly appreciated.

I can’t praise Julia Speed and the team enough for how they handled the introduction/onboarding process. Julia was extremely friendly and transparent during our initial phone call and I was further blown away by how welcoming Julia, Matt Harding, Sue Law etc. were during a discovery day. There was no hard sell and everyone was extremely generous with their time. From then on, I have felt completely supported and welcomed throughout the entire onboarding process. The induction training with Dawn Bould was very comprehensive and again Dawn and the wider team have been supportive throughout. Julia has kept in touch regularly and Matt and Julia have both reached out to celebrate early wins. Nothing has been too much trouble and I can’t fault the process.

What a fantastic experience the training course was amazing. I went to Venus in Manchester to meet Julia Speed she made me feel so welcome thank you Julia for all the help and support you have given me.
Kerry and Kristina are so lovely when they was doing the training course they was so helpful and made the training experience amazing. Even now when there is a question they are always around to help.
I am so happy with my Mentor Julie Tebay again always around to help me thank you Julie. I feel like we are one big family in the community, all the lovely people I have met on the training course and also other Travel Counsellors I have met will be friends forever. Thank you again to Julia Speed, Kerry W, Kristina Seed and Julie Tebay and all my lovely Team I was on the training course with thank you for all the support.
I have had the best experience and going forward I am 100% glad I have joined Travel Counsellors.
Kind Regards

Changing career is a massive decision. Right from initial contact Travel Counsellors we're so transparent and supportive. No hard sell at all and lots of time to understand the business with no pressure at all. I am currently coming to the end of my training which has been fantastic and I am really excited to begin my journey with the continued support from a fantastic organisation.

Despite already having good knowledge on the TC community, Julia made sure I had an unwavering level of support throughout my decision making journey. Whether the questions were surrounding the business model, logistics of being self-employed or anything else which came to mind, Julia did not hesitate to find the answer to my question, and made me feel very supported. This really is a company where you're made to feel like an individual on your own unique journey.

From my initial phone call with Julia Speed, meeting her at a discovery day and at HQ, everything has been made very easy with no pressure to sign up. The two weeks training with Kerry and Kristina was very well run, they were always there with support with smiles on their faces. I am now three weeks post course and finding my own way. I have a great mentor to assist me and the rest of my onboarding group are always there to answer any questions. There is still a lot to learn but it is going to be worth it, with the great backing of Travel Counsellors.

Fantastic response from Sue Law when I initially contacted TC re a franchise. She answered all my questions and was available at a time to suit me. She was very knowledgable and talked me through the process of getting started. Thank you Sue,

Fantastic company to work with. The training is amazing and informative. Best decision of my life!

I'd looked at various travel companies when considering starting my own travel business, but I was always drawn back to Travel Counsellors due to the complete professionalism I experienced from when I first enquired and spoke on numerous occasions with Cathy, to being invited to Head Office to discuss further. The onboarding and ongoing training I received and continue to receive is second to none, I always have an opportunity to learn and upskill, the support is superb, along with the true feeling of community. I might work alone, but I never feel alone.

Joining TC was a breeze. I was introduced to Julia Speed who invited me to HQ for a tour once we’d had some initial conversations around my expectations and experience. I think I drilled her with questions for around 4 hours! This was way longer than most office visits but I left with a firm belief that TC was the right franchise for me. The TC training is very well presented. I expected a class room environment, which was the case every morning but the majority of the course is through online modules where you can work through at your own pace. This allows you to absorb information in a way that suits you as an individual. The training teams experience ensures that no one gets too far ahead and no one is ever left too far behind. The content is extremely educational and interesting which makes the course enjoyable. I sometimes worked a couple of hours longer on an evening to practice a bit more on what I was learning but this was just a personal preference, there is no actual need to work any longer than is already designated. Ben & Dawn were attentive and patient with all trainees and calmly answered questions that they’ve heard a million times as if it was the first time they’d heard it. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole 2 week experience and was delighted to see that the training continues but within my own time frames to complete modules.
Congratulations and thank you to everyone that has helped me start my TC journey.

From the very first conversation I had with Julia and the two week intensive training course with Kristina and Kerry I have been made to feel very welcome and supported. Very happy with my decision to become a TC! There's a lot to learn but the training is detailed and well thought out.

From initial enquiry through to launching my business, everyone at Travel Counsellors has been incredibly helpful. The course content itself was extremely thorough, covering everything you need to know before launching your business. It was a good mixture of practical and reading and the trainers were knowledgable, patient and supportive throughout. Following the training, I feel confident I can make a success of my business thanks to the training and ongoing support Travel Counsellors.

Clear, concise and detailed timelines and information. Support every step of the way.

From the point of first contact to taking part in the Induction Training, there has been lots of clear communication and information.
Everyone at Travel Counsellors has been helpful and friendly and has made the whole process relevant and fun.

A straightforward, Informative process. Every question answered in a timely manner. Helpful and friendly. The whole onboarding process confirmed I made the right decision to start my business through Travel Counsellors.

Julia from the franchise team answered all the questions that I had. I felt confident in moving forward and I am happy that I chose to get a franchise with Travel Counsellors

From the beginning of my journey with Travel counsellors, I was made to feel at ease and not pressured into making a decision. Ashley was always on hand to help with any questions I had and always answered me honestly and promptly.
The onboarding training with Dawn was intense but interesting and Dawn was incredibly supportive with any questions I had. She was patients and ensured we were all on the same page.
A really positive experience so far.

From the minute I reached out to Travel Counsellors during my search for a travel franchise, there was no possibility of partnering with anyone else.
It's been a great experience.
I initially dealt with Ashley Butler who took time to explain things and demonstrate the benefits of joining the TC community. She answered all my questions (I had a lot!) and was there to offer insight whenever I needed it.
Since I signed up and had my induction, the support hasn't changed. From the trainers, to the support staff to the other Travel Counsellors I've engaged with, everything has been amazing.
I've had a great start compared to my expectations and I can definitely say that the onboarding journey has played a big part.
I'm growing in confidence each day and feel I have the right backers to build a successful business.
Thank you Travel Counsellors!

Travel Counsellors made me feel very welcome when I went to a discovery day. They took the time to get to know me and made sure I was making the right choice for my career. I can't stress what a wonderful company they are to work with, and how much invest in their franchisees. The training i have received so far has been incredible. So happy I chose to be a TC
