TICO reducing Certification exam rewrite wait times
February 1, 2023
Effective today, the Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO) is reducing the required rewrite wait times for the Travel Counsellor and Supervisor/Manager exams.
As the travel industry continues to rebound, this change is aimed at facilitating the pace at which new travel professionals can enter the industry.
New exam rewrite wait times (if first exam attempt is unsuccessful):
- First exam rewrite – 24-hour waiting period after receiving results.
- Second exam rewrite – 5-day waiting period after receiving results.
- Third and any subsequent exam rewrites – 30-day waiting period for each attempt after receiving results.
Previous exam rewrite wait times (if first exam attempt is unsuccessful):
- First exam rewrite – 14-day waiting period after receiving results.
- Second and any subsequent exam rewrites – 30-day waiting period for each attempt after receiving results.
Note: Individuals receive their results 2-3 days after completing their exam, following a verification and overall compliance review of the exam process.
