Most travel advisors are one bad trip away from losing a client they could never serve again. 

  

Not because they didn't care. Because they were never taught how.

The travel industry has an accessibility gap — and it's not what you think.

 

It's not that advisors don't care about travelers with disabilities.

It's that nobody ever taught them what they actually need to know.

You weren't taught how disability affects trip planning in real life. You weren't taught how to identify barriers before your client encounters them. You weren't taught how to build a business that can actually serve this market well — consistently, confidently, and profitably.

And when something goes wrong on a trip for a traveler with a disability, there's no playbook. There's just you, trying to figure it out.

The Travel Ready™ Certification Series changes that.

Four courses.
One designation.
A completely different way of working.

 

When you complete the Travel Ready™ Certification Series, you earn the TRCA™ — Travel Ready Certified Advisor designation from Be Brave Travel Academy.

This isn't a participation badge. It's proof that you've been trained by occupational therapy practitioners who have spent 11+ years each in clinical settings working with people with disabilities — and who understand what accessible travel actually requires.

The Golden Rule — inside the checklist

"Would this setup still work on your client's worst day? 
If the answer isn't a clear yes — it's not truly usable.

 

What's inside — 12 red flags across 3 categories

Course 1: Travel Ready™ Foundation

The clinical framework every advisor needs first. Learn how disability actually affects travel — from a licensed OT perspective — and how to ask the questions that surface what your clients really need.

Course 2: Travel Ready™ — Invisible Needs

The needs your clients can't always name. Sensory processing, cognitive access, invisible disabilities, and the accommodations that make or break a trip for people who "look fine."

Course 3: Travel Ready™ — Accessible Business Model

Stop leaving this market on the table. Learn how to structure, price, and position your business to serve travelers with disabilities consistently and profitably.

Course 4: Travel Ready™ — Emergency & Backup Planning

Move from hopeful planning to Risk Architecture. Learn how to predict where an itinerary will break — and build redundancy before your client ever leaves home.

Built by OTs.
Designed for advisors.

 

The Travel Ready™ Certification Series was created by April Garcia and Michelle Balcarcel — both Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants with 22+ years of combined clinical experience in skilled nursing and rehabilitation.

They built this program because they watched travelers with disabilities come home from trips that didn't work — and knew the gap wasn't in the travelers. It was in the training their advisors never received.

Be Brave Travel Academy is an OT-informed education platform. That means every course is built on clinical frameworks, not industry assumptions.

April Garcia and Michelle are the presenters for The Travel Institute's webinar "Beyond ADA Compliance: Creating Truly Accessible Travel Experiences" — October 2026.

 

The founding price ends July 4th. There are no exceptions.

Four courses. One designation. One price that will never exist again.
