Become a Certified Accessible Travel Advisor
Learn how to confidently plan, book, and support travelers with real needs — without guesswork, awkward questions, or missed details.
What is a BBTA Certification?
A BBTA Certification is earned through a full curriculum developed by occupational therapy practitioners who have spent their careers understanding how bodies move through the world — and what happens when the environment doesn't cooperate.
The curriculum covers everything from mobility and equipment to emergency protocols, neurodivergence, and specialty populations like service animals, allergies, and plus-size travel.
Each module builds on the last. By the end, you have a clinical framework for assessing what a trip actually requires — and the tools to deliver it.
When your clients have accessibility needs, you'll know exactly what to ask, what to verify, and what to do when something goes wrong.
The BBTA Certification isn't recognized by an industry association yet. That's coming. What exists right now is a curriculum built by people who actually understand accessibility — and that's the part that matters most to your clients.
