yes if she applies for another e -passport the correction can made not only that it simply means you just want to collect e-passport whatever information you feed in is what you will get again when it comes out.

nevertheless is there anything that is not possible if you have d money but instead of paying to correct just pay to get another one at once.

@ wavixen,

there is no way i will know all school that are accredited except u go there to find out.

besides, the school you go does not really matter ,what you learn from the school is what matter most in the industry, employer in the industry believe more in a practical & what you have upstair i.e how good are you if you r place on a system to work. go to the worst mushroom school if practically you can dust the fellow that has gone to one known aviation school, i tell you the job is your. even as an IT stundent, if you are good, solid travel agents do demand 4 them.

if you as a person is certified then you have an edge over others that are nt becos u have gone further to obtain a proffessional certificate.

@ senolistic

since you are not around to go to the school in person then you can call Mr Rotimi Olaleye on 01-7351034,he is the Director of the school. i just loss my phone where i have his GSM number but try the above number is also one of his numbers. he normally call me madam Solape in case he ask how u get his number. good luck. sola

@WAVixen

yes am a travel. i tell you travel industry is an interesting industry to pick up career. it has is own challenge too like every other job. another truth about the job is that is all about contact, service & integrity. dont be dubious then sky is stepin stone. i dont know your level right now maybe starting a big company or small but any how u can start by just a system with internet 24/7. the first challenge u will have as a starter is platform where you will be makin reservation as agent but it can also be sorted out. so just go head & start something.


@senolistic

there is one aviation school (Anis international school of aviation) at 5, akinosi street, oshodi , landover at ikeja, there is one in surulere but i only know much about ANIS u can go there to find out other information. also, these schools are local aviation school but you can take international or professional exam through them.

@WAvixen

point of correction pls,

there is different between been IATA accredited & IATA certified.

To be IATA certified, u need to write IATA professional Exam.
To be IATA accredited, you need minimum of N10Million Bank Guarantee.

But you can still practice as travel agent here in nigeria with or without the two criteria above.

sola.

@ WAvixen,

basically there 4 types of travel agents , it depends on the type you want to become;

1. Accredited agent with stock - as an accredited agent with stock, it means you are IATA certified, & register with CAC. you have & can issue airline ticket (stock) to air passangers on behalf of airline from your office.

2.Accredited agent without stock- it means you are IATA certifified & register with CAC. you do not have ticket in your office but you have what is called validator that enables you to sell LPO to some agents. this category depends on No.1 above & airline to get tickect for passenger

3. Agent by registration- it means you are operating as a travel agent by registering your agency with Corperate Affair Commission(CAC) only , u can only make reservation to passenger while u go to No.1 above to buy ticket or you buy LPO from No.2 take d LPO 2 air line 2 buy d ticket & your commission will be given.

4. freelance agent- as d name implies these agents don't know much about d job but whenever they have passenger travelling they take d job to No.1, 2 or 3 to be done.

note that , to be IATA certified u need bank guarantee of N10 million if not , you can settle for no. 3 option above where u will register your agency, pay some due to national association of nigeria travel agents NANTA & nigeria civil aviation authority NCAA.

less i forget, you we need to go to aviation school at least a month & learn how to make reservation, check & calculate fares, airline geograhpy, ticketing etc. or u employ capable hands

To be IATA certified (professional exam), you can write the exam that comes up twice in a year march & september . presently $550 & $30 bank charges.

hope have been able to answer you question.

@plum70


your experience on the site was unfortunate but i will find out for you if there is anything u can do to get the process completed since u said u have paid online.

why applyin over there? hope you know that u must be in immigration office in person to scan .


ordinarily, d guarantor form is suppose to be filled by someone who knows you well but trust Nigeria system is not strictly adhere to.anybody does it especially if u contract the whole process out you dont even know who your guarantor is yet passport will come out provided u have paid.

@tunde50

you can get china visa by going to their embassy to obtain it or go through a genuine travel agent with 80k-100k they can get you china visa.

@langrange
