Consider the story of Stephen and Susanne, a husband and wife team from Victoria. Stephen had previous experience running a small cleaning business while Susanne had been working as a senior travel consultant for twelve years. Stephen and Susanne felt that with their combined business and travel consulting experience they could set up a travel agency. They also had enough cash in the bank to set up their agency. The only catch though was that while Susanne had been working as a senior travel consultant for an agency for years, her qualifications were well out of date; she needed to obtain the qualification SITTTSL013A so that they could apply to the Department of Fair Trading for a Travel Agent's Licence.
