Level 3 Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality
For students new to the hospitality and tourism industry this course is an excellent first step. The Level 3 Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality from CTH-UK provides students with an understanding of these two closely aligned industries, whilst also allowing them to build their credit portfolio and skill set ready to go on to the higher-level study in the field.
By providing students with an overall understanding of the industries, it allows them to explore and identify where their passions and interests lie so that they can then go on to specialize in the more specialist discipline of their choice.
The qualification is a great starting point for those eager to get their foot in the door. It is targeted at the learning needs of those students who are new to the field and typically in the 16 – 18-year age bracket. Through the completion of the course, they not only get a feel for the industry but become certified by CTH for their efforts.
