Registration is now open for Sandals’ annual 2025 Masterclass training series. Designed exclusively for the Canadian market by Unique Vacations Canada, the sessions will feature both in-person sessions across the country and online events, led by national training manager Lorna Richards.

Taking place from May through October, space is limited for the six two-hour live sessions so advisors are encouraged to register early. They will not be recorded.

Richards will be joined by a Sandals Business Development Manager at each Masterclass and travel advisors can register for any session that works best with their schedule.

“We are excited to launch our new 2025 Masterclass series and can’t wait to be back on the road with it for the first time in over five years,” says Maureen Barnes-Smith, VP, Sales & Marketing, Canada, Unique Vacations Canada (affiliate of worldwide representatives of Sandals and Beaches Resorts).

“By shining the spotlight on the authentic Caribbean – our Caribbean – and the proud home of Sandals and Beaches Resorts, we’ll be able to help advisors guide their clients to the right resort, the right room category and the right experiences for their next all-inclusive vacation. This all translates to a happy client and a happy advisor.”

Participation in a Sandals Masterclass also allows Canadian travel advisors to:

• Fulfill the educational component required to maintain (or acquire) Sandals Elite Advisor (S.E.A) status
• Earn four ACTA credits towards their Certified Travel Counsellor or Certified Travel Manager accreditation
