The qualifications you will need depend on what kind of position you are seeking. As mentioned above the position of children's rep is one that often requires specific qualifications. Most reps need to be at least 18 and some positions require you to be 21. Formal qualifications are not generally required for the position of a holiday rep.

However, good GCSE grades / A-level grades or any qualification in Travel and Tourism will always help your chances of success. In addition to this, any customer service experience is also a valuable asset to have as it demonstrates a key skill the recruitment team are looking for. This can even be through a part time job while you were studying or part of your full time job that you do on a daily basis. There is also no requirement to speak a different language (although it will help if you do so make sure you mention it).
