This is why I love my career. What is be better than enriching the lives of my students and their future travelers?!
These are just some of the heart warming comments I've received from my students. I hope you enjoy reading about their journeys in achieving their rewarding dream travel careers.
Hi Cherie,
I want to tell you how wonderful your class was if it weren’t for your class I would not have been offered the three jobs that I have accepted this week.
Last week I was offered a job with a Destination Management Company to start training with them the first
week of April and I accepted it. At the beginning of the interview the company interviewer asked ,”so you are Cherie Anderson trained?,” and I said, “Yes.” His comment: “That is good enough for me!”
Thanks; for a job well done!!

Cherie,
Thank you so very much for everything that you have done to contribute towards launching my career as a tour director. Your book,
Tour Director Training Guide, get paid to travel, is like a bible to me for working in the tourism industry. In addition to reading your book, earning a Certificate of Completion for Professional Tour Management Training made me think about my life and experiences and focus on why I want to be a tour director and taught me how to achieve my goal. I just got off the phone with you, where you spent an extraordinary amount of time giving me positive feedback and tips and suggestions for my future.
I think that talking with you, reading your book and taking your class have been one of the best educational and instructional experiences in my life. I will remember information that I learned from you and carry notes with me for the rest of my career. You've helped me with education and training for working in the tourism industry to specific comments about my resume and how to prepare for job interviews.
Everything was fantastic!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart and the soles of my tour director shoes.

Thanks, Cherie, for your detailed training course and all your subsequent help. Your fabulously priced course gave me the skills and information I will need to direct tours professionally. Your expertly written text book is now my favorite reference when I have a question about procedures or any other aspect of directing a tour. I have already been hired by Grand Circle Travel and am now one of the “resident expert” tour directors for their Northwest National Parks tour.
All your help and the suggestions you made
throughout the hiring process gave me the confidence and knowledge I needed to get the job. I came out ahead of many people who had taken other courses that cost them thousands of dollars. I know this is just the beginning, and that my new career will go well due to the expert and detailed training, and the personal support, I have received from you. Thanks for everything; you are the best.

Hi Cherie,
I just want to update you on my job hunting progress so that you can feel like a proud teacher.
Well, just days after I finished your class (Dec), I sent out 8 resumes. I've been contacted by 4 companies already (3 in less than a week); have done 2 phone interviews and passed the first rounds. EF Smithsonian has invited me to their January 08 TD orientation. And, I will be meeting with Peak Performance Tours' Ops Manager at the end of January for her final review of me. I will be meeting the other 2
companies (Directors Choice Tour & Travel and One If By Land Tours) within the next 3 weeks. These companies are looking for TDs for the NY, Boston and DC area. Boy, I knew I had to move fast to get in for the Spring season and it paid off.
I'm so excited that I had to share it with you. Thanks for all your guidance, it really paid off. Hope you
have a Happy New Year and Happy Holidays!
Take care,
Diana Tobias
Cherie,
I don't know if you remember me. I wanted to thank you for the great class and let you know that I was just offered a job as a Tour Director for Contiki. I'm very excited and felt like I really had the inside information thanks to you.
I will be going on a training trip with their training school starting March 21st! Another success story!
Sincerely,
Alisia
Cherie Anderson’s course, Professional Tour Management Training, has changed my life! The tools she provides
will help get you noticed and in the door. I landed my first job soon after I graduated. Such a small investment in her wonderful class has yielded such big results. I now work full-time as a professional tour director and port lecturer for cruise line. I am seeing the world and am loving every minute of
it.

“Cherie Anderson is a vivacious, detail-oriented, multi-cultural, superior tour director who eagerly shares her passion for travel and her vast knowledge
of our world. Not only is Cherie a tireless champion of the travel and tourism industry but also an approachable, sincere teacher always generous with her time and expertise. Her "Tour Director Training Guide: Get Paid to Travel" should be on every travel agent's, tour operator's, and prospective tour
director's/guide's book shelf. It was a real treat for us and our listeners to have Cherie on our radio show
"Travel Talk: Escapes."” February 28, 2009
