The CLIA Institute Track is a defined track of educational and conference programming at the CLIA cruise3sixty conference. Travel agents actively enrolled in CLIA's Cruise Counsellor Certification program can earn valuable Certification credits to "Fast-Track" their designation as either an Accredited (ACC) or Master (MCC) Cruise Counsellor.

The Institute Track is open only to agents currently enrolled (active) in CLIA's Accredited (ACC) or Master (MCC) Cruise Counsellor Programs.

In order to earn the Institute Track Certification Credits, agents must register for the Institute Track in advance via the cruise3sixty web site at www.cruise3sixty.com. Institute Track registration is limited to those agents who are presently enrolled, considered “active” and working towards ACC or MCC Certification and CLIA reserves the right to limit the number of agents enrolling in the Institute Track to manage room size and to ensure that the CLIA education experience maintains our high standards.
