Not slides. A working cryptic terminal with 290 real-world command challenges across the core 7 categories — availability, PNR, fares, ticketing, reissue, special services and queues. Pure hands-on practice, at your own pace — no certificate on this track.
The 290 challenges are spread across the seven areas of a booking agent's day. Each one asks for a real entry and checks what you typed — nothing is multiple choice.
| Area | Example entry | Challenges |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | 115DECBOMDXB | 52 |
| PNR Build | -KHAN/AHMED MR | 73 |
| Fares & Pricing | FQBOMLHR | 35 |
| Ticketing | W‡ETPC | 20 |
| Reissue & Refund | WFRT*T1764837291045 | 28 |
| Special Services | 3VGML/S1/P1 | 44 |
| Queues & Remarks | QP/50 | 38 |
| Total | 290 |
This is the sequence you'll repeat until it's muscle memory. Five entries take a passenger from an empty screen to a ticket number.

You've covered the theory and can name the fields, but you've never typed an entry against a clock. This is where that gap closes.
Practise the entries you're nervous about — reissues, refunds, SSRs — without the risk of touching a live PNR.
You know one GDS well and the new office runs another. Drill the unfamiliar syntax until the old habits stop interfering.
Employers ask you to demonstrate live entries. Walk in having done each one hundreds of times.
No. This runs a simulated terminal in your browser. You type the real cryptic commands and get realistic responses back, without touching a live booking system or risking a real PNR.
The practice track is the drilling ground: every challenge, unlimited retakes, no certificate and no live session. The certified track adds a Tutor LMS certificate and one session with an instructor.
Thirty days from purchase. Inside that window you can restart the full set as many times as you want.
The terminal tells you it was invalid and lets you try again. After two wrong attempts the hint opens by itself with the exact pattern. You can also skip and see the correct entry.
Yes, though a keyboard makes the typing drills much faster. Most students practise on a laptop and revise on their phone.
