USATP University logo

USA Tour Pros University offers a wide range of interactive courses (through our education partner, ed2go) that you can take entirely over the Internet, a perfect time-filler for the off-season. All of our courses include expert instructors, many of whom are nationally known authors as well. Our online courses are affordable, fun, fast, convenient, and geared just for you. As North America’s leading Tour Professional’s resource and social-networking Web site, USA Tour Pros is interested in helping you continue to develop your professional skills. Ready to explore our course catalog?

Unlike other training schools where you’re given some Tour training and then set free with little support, USA Tour Pros University offers classes and a supportive community with which to share your classwork and experiences. The best part may be you can take any of our courses throughout the year, so when your tour schedule starts to wind down, it’s a perfect time to continue developing your professional skill set. And it all can be done right at home!

Frequently asked questions—excerpt

Here's a sampling of some frequently asked questions concerning our courses:

Q: How are your courses different from other online courses?
A: Two words: customer satisfaction. A genuine USA Tour Pros University course is more than just a collection of project-oriented lessons, quizzes, and hands-on assignments. Browse our course catalog and read the fantastic things students have to say about our courses.
Q: How long are your courses?
A: Unless otherwise specified, all courses run for six weeks.
Q: How much is each course?
A: $89
Q: What happens if I'll be away on business/vacation during part of the class?
A: No problem! There's a two-week grace period built right into each of our quizzes and final exams. If you start to fall behind, we can grant you a ten-day extension at the end of the course.
Q: How will I receive my lessons, quizzes, and assignments?
A: Each course comes complete with an online classroom. You will be able to use your Web browser to access the online classroom and obtain your course material and communicate with your instructor.
Q: What happens if I have a question?
A: Each of your lessons is accompanied by an interactive discussion area. When you need help with a lesson, all you have to do is post your question or inquiry in the appropriate course discussion area, where the instructor, his or her teaching assistant, or one of your fellow students will respond.
Q: May I respond to other students' discussion area questions?
A: We are firmly convinced that the best way to learn a new skill is to teach it to others. If you know the answer to a discussion area question, you are strongly encouraged to offer your assistance.
Q: How is taking an Internet course different from classroom instruction?
A: In today's fast-paced world, many of us find it difficult to take time away from work and family to attend school. One of the primary advantages of our Internet workshops is that you can "attend class" in the comfort and convenience of your own home and office. Our Internet courses fit into your schedule.
