ABTA, Nina & Pinta partner to deliver certified Corporate Travel training

The African Business Travel Association (ABTA) has announced the partnership with Nina & Pinta to host the first in a series of certified corporate travel management workshops in South Africa in February.

Monique Swart, ABTA Founder

TMC and Supplier Workshops will focus on “Working with Travel Procurement – A Suppliers Guide” which focus on assisting TMC’s and Suppliers to engage with their clients in a more strategic way.

Travel Buyer Workshops entitled “Managing a Best in Class Travel Policy and increasing compliance” will aid Travel Buyers in honing their Travel Management skills by learning top techniques for increasing value and compliance and reducing travel costs.

Says ABTA Founder, Monique Swart, “For many years, we have seen that access to internationally recognised and accredited Corporate Travel training courses have been extremely limited in this region.  Industry professionals are hungry for accredited training that can help them to truly hone their skills – both in the supplying and buying sides of Corporate Travel. As Nina & Pinta courses are CPD accredited, delegates will receive certificates with internationally recognised continuing professional development points upon successful course completion.  We are very excited to be able to add this training to ABTA’s ever-increasing value proposition.”

Partner and Training Facilitator for Nina & Pinta Jo Lloyd said, “In an industry where effectively demonstrating value is vital to success for all sectors, we are happy to see an increased focus and investment in staff training in this region.

“Nina & Pinta’s focus on South Africa comes at a time where many forward thinking companies are looking at defining and emulating global best practice, so although workshops are aimed at the local market, delegates will leave with many globally recognised, practical solutions for solving a variety of travel buying and supplying challenges.”
