*Backroads is proud to be a preferred supplier with the Signature Travel Network, Virtuoso and the Travel Leaders Network. As preferred partners, you earn an override commission so no additional increase applies.

To qualify for a second or third FAM savings, you must actively book clients with Backroads. Each FAM savings opportunity is designed to support advisors who consistently bring new or repeat guests to our trips.

The Course

The Inside Track specialist program is divided into 9 modules. Your work may be saved so you do not have to complete it all in one sitting. At the end of each module, there is a short quiz (3-5 questions) as well as the final exam (20 questions).
