UK Higher Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Apollo) (Varies-72)

UK Higher Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Apollo) (Varies-72) at HICL

Airline tickets look simple from the passenger side. Behind the scenes they involve fare construction, taxes and surcharges, fare rules, mileage-based routing, ancillary services, refund and exchange logic and constant interaction with the global distribution systems (GDS) that hold airline inventory. The UK Higher Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Apollo) focuses specifically on the Apollo GDS environment and the practical workflows of ticketing and reservations staff.

It is a vocational qualification, deliberately. The goal is people who can actually issue a complex ticket without help on day one.

Why Apollo-specific training matters

Each major GDS has its own command structure and quirks. An agent fluent in one is not automatically fluent in another. The UK Higher Diploma in Air Ticketing & Reservation System (Apollo) drills into the Apollo command set used in many travel agencies and airline back-office teams. Students practise availability searches, fare displays, building and pricing PNRs, ticket issuance, exchanges and refunds, queues and messaging - the everyday muscle memory of ticketing work. The diploma also covers IATA basics, fare construction principles and the customer-service expectations that sit alongside the technical work.

Who This Diploma Is For

• Travel agency staff who need formal GDS training to move into ticketing roles.
• Airline call-centre and reservations agents formalising their skills.
• Career changers entering travel as travel consultants or corporate-travel agents.
• Tourism-management students adding a hands-on technical specialisation to their CV.
