“I am really happy that I decided to take the Certified Medical Travel
Agent Course because it increased my knowledge about being a
medical tourism facilitator. It was very interesting and informative. It is
not just boring text and quizzes. Each lesson contains a training video.
Also, the membership I chose has all the essential documents I need for
my business, I couldn’t find them on the internet before I met MTB. They
also already gave us a few patient leads, it’s amazing. Thank you so
much again and best wishes!” - Ekaterina Ponti, Founder, Dream
