Introduction :

The GDS Training System is unique in its scope and detail, while maintaining the following principles:

• Simplified complex GDS functions so that even entry-level students can gain a working proficiency as quickly as possible and place them on par with experienced travel personnel with similar functionality in simulated environment.
• Provide enough advanced material so that even experienced GDS users can benefit or hone their skills

Not only does the GDS Training System teach entries, it also teaches the concepts behind them. Why and when an entry is used is covered in the same or greater depth as the format of the entry and the explanation of its response.

The GDS Training System gives a very high priority to GDS emulation. Scrupulous adherence to the actual formats and responses, the emulators are designed to look and act exactly like the real-world system they simulate.

Every display generated in the emulator is a true facsimile of the correct GDS response. The emulators are programmed so that every entry will function exactly as it does on a live GDS.

This means, among other things:

• Correct taxes are calculated for itinerary pricing in automated fare pricing
• PNRs must pass error checking before ending the transaction
• PNRs won't price with fares that don't meet restrictions
• Follow-up entries change displays accurately
• Variations to entries are accepted
• Incorrect entries produce actual GDS error responses
• Obscure entries not practiced in the lessons may be practiced in the emulator

Real World Training:

Emulators turn the PC into a simulated GDS, giving opportunity to the students for hands-on practice:

• Printing and preparing tickets
• Working with complicated entries
• Building and ending reservations for imaginary "clients"
• Searching for fares
• Working on the computer while talking on the telephone

The emulators, combined with comprehensive database, offer unequaled opportunity for real-world practice on a simulated GDS.

1. The ability to provide customised training geared toward the travel needs of your community. Students can become familiar with the airlines and flights which operate from their local airport(s). They can practice making bookings that are typical of the agencies they will work for upon graduation.

2. Students will become familiar with and understand how displays change when entries are modified slightly. Students can become proficient using shortcut and follow-up entries to increase their productivity. They can become experts at obtaining the best GDS display for the required task.

3. A training system that is fun to use. Students enjoy making reservations to exotic locations, decoding obscure cities and airports.
