Heck yeah! Although keep in mind that while the mini course is free, you will need to have a budget for starting your agency for things like business registration, joining a host or another organization, buying a domain, etc.

One of our passions is helping people successfully start their agencies, and we think it’s important to offer a quality program that doesn’t break the bank. Site advertisers subsidize the cost of our free 7 Day Setup LITE.

We do have one ask of you though: if you like the program and end up chatting with any host, consortia, or suppliers, we’d love it if you let them know you heard about them through our site! :)

While there are 7 days of lessons, you won’t be able to set up your agency in seven days.

Expect the process of setting up your agency to take you anywhere from ~3 weeks to a few months, depending on how hard you work at it.

We provide limited email support for the 7 Day Setup LITE program through our general contact us form. We are happy to answer basic questions, but if you’re looking for more support and guidance as you get started, we suggest signing up for one of our 7 Day Setup Accelerator programs.

Both of the Accelerator programs offer robust email support and guidance. However, the All-Access Pass adds VIP support email and (2) live monthly meetings for 12 months, where you’ll be able to ask your questions to the HAR team and learn from industry experts.

Unfortunately not. That said, host agencies are familiar with HAR’s 7 Day Setup LITE program, so you can definitely let them know you’ve done your homework!

The 7 Day Setup Accelerator course offers a course completion certificate after students have watched the 70+ short videos, gone through the 87 lessons, and received 80% or higher on the quizzes.

We’re good, but not quite that good. :) The focus of the 7 Day Setup LITE is to get your agency legally set up and give you a broad overview of how the travel industry works, but it does not teach you how to book travel.

After your agency is set up, you’ll be ready for the next step, which is starting to learn the products and destinations you’ll be selling and how to book them. The host agencies, consortia, suppliers, and destinations will offer training to help you with that!

You can also find great training opportunities on HAR’s free travel industry event calendar. And who knows, you might find yourself on a travel advisor FAM trip soon!
